YIN YOGA AND THE HEART ELEMENT

Open your Heart and mobilize your Qi - open your mind and soul to Heart’s energy and self-healing powers!

In this workshop we will use our inner Qi, our vital energy, to open our Hearts, calm our minds and maximise our yoga practice. We will perform Heart opening Yoga asanas, learn an accessible meditation, perform some Chinese medicine interventions and work with hot stones.

'The heart is the official functioning as ruler, the origin of the spirit's brilliance ... it houses one's magic power'.

In Chinese medicine Heart embodies the element of Fire, the ultimate form of Yang energy, which blazes, spreads and warms, bringing about transformation. By focusing on our Heart and combining the Yin Yoga asanas with Chinese medicine techniques, we will be able to stimulate the circulation of the Heart’s vital energy, improve our wellbeing and bring about joy, the emotion of the Heart.

The Yin Yoga asanas in this workshop will focus on opening the chest and Heart region, meaning they will also be extremely beneficial for the back, and especially upper back and shoulder regions.

The workshop is open and accessible for all levels, including for persons without experience in yoga practice. Options will be given for beginners and people with pain or limitations.
