As we prepare to step into the vibrant energy of spring, nature awakens from its winter slumber, and so do we. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spring is associated with the Wood element, which governs growth, expansion, and renewal.  This is a powerful time to shift our yoga practice to align with the seasonal energy, focusing on Yin Yoga, the Liver and Gallbladder meridians, and the healing power of sound and frequency.

Spring & The Wood Element in Yoga
The Wood element symbolises new beginnings, flexibility, and strength—much like a tree growing toward the sky while remaining deeply rooted. 

In our bodies, Wood is connected to the Liver and Gallbladder meridians which regulate the smooth flow of energy (Qi), detoxification, and emotional balance.  When out of harmony, we may feel stuck, frustrated, or experience tension, especially in the hips, sides of the body, and inner thighs. 

By incorporating Yin Yoga we can nourish these meridians, release stagnation, and invite fluidity into our physical and emotional being. 

Holding yin postures for longer periods (3-5 minutes) allows us to access deep connective tissue and fascia, where energetic blockages may reside. 

The Healing Power of Sound & Frequency.
As we move through spring, sound healing can further support our energetic alignment. In TCM, each organ resonates with a specific sound, and the Liver is associated with the “Shhh” sound, which helps release anger and frustration, emotions often linked to this season. 

Additionally, sound frequenciessuch as 528 Hz (the “Love Frequency”) and 432 Hz can promote cellular healing, reduce stress, and enhance our connection to the natural rhythms of the Earth.  Incorporating these tones through Tibetan and crystal bowls, tuning forks, or mantra chanting can deepen relaxation and restore balance. 

As we align with the renewal energy of spring, we cultivate flexibility, vitality, and a sense of flow, both on and off the mat. May this retreat bring you clarity, expansion, and a deep sense of balance.​​​  Book your spot here

Melt into Yin Yoga​

In Yin & Restorative yoga, poses are all passive and floor based and we hold for on average 5 minutes, working deep into the joints and harder tissues in the body resulting in better circulation to the joints, ligaments, facia and even the bones.

​

Suitable for complete beginners, improvers and athletes alike, this unique, one-off class is designed to centre you for the Winter season. ​

​

Energetically, yin accesses the internal organs via the meridian lines for the body bringing fresh nourishment and vitality. Meridians are considered channels where Qi or Prana flows. Qi is the basic life force of the body. The thought in Yin is that this brings about better organ health & vitality, stronger immunity & emotional well-being.

​

Yin is also a deeply meditative practice where we learn to let go of thinking and bring our mind deep inside the body to focus on sensation, aiding a journey of re embodiment that is healing on many levels.

Tibetan Bowl Massage​ & Sound Healing

During this Retreat you can opt to experience the resonance of the Tibetan Bowl on your abdomen and solar plexus as part of our sound healing when you are bathed in sound.  Sound healing is a powerful antidote to our modern day, stressed out lifestyles where our nervous system tends to be disregulated. 

​

This ancient healing modality utilises deep vibrations and soothing sounds to bring relief from stress-related ailments or conditions. ​  Massage therapy with Tibetan bowls is a potent, multisensory experience. The vibrations and auditory stimulation produce an intense experience and often healing affects. 

​

Sound Healing is an extremely powerful and non-intrusive method used to release stress and reduce physical pain.
