As we welcome the season of spring, also known as the season of the inhale, embrace the fullness and bursting energy of the spring with breathwork, meditation, and gentle bodywork. 

In Classical Chinese Medicine and Yin Yoga, Spring coincides with the element of Wood–representing the basis for life. This season is when our yang (active) increases and chi is high, channeling the water’s energy (winter’s energy) into a structured flow.The wood element gives us our will to survive and provides our reservoir for energy. When imbalanced, however, feelings of timidity, inflexibility, and anger may arise.

Through gentle bodywork, meditation and breathing techniques, this class will work to channel, embrace, and bring balance to these stubborn emotions (that we sometimes want to avoid or bottle up). Rather than resisting the flow of yang in and around us, we will practice welcoming the upward quality of spring with acupressure points, invigorating inhales, and supportive poses to allow your most flexible self in this season.
