Autumnal Equinox Slow Flow - Vinyasa Master-Class

Friday 20th Sept - 6.30 - 8.30 pm

A practice full of familiarity, with grounding postures that will nourish, harmonise, and calm the nervous system.

This is a time to observe balance in the natural world, due to the balance of dark and light, night and day. Within the parameters of Chronos time, we are now moving toward the first day of the Autumn Equinox which falls this year on Sunday, 22nd September. On this day, the sun rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west, where day and night are the same length.

As the weather starts to becomes cooler, this is a timeley reminder to create a strong immune system, thus grounding ourselves and moving the body in a slow, rhythmic, fluid way to keep lymph and blood flowing freely to boost energy reserves.

For this practice you can expect a 15 minute seated meditation where we will set a meaningful intention to affirm and honour the changing of the season. Then we will begin to move slowly and rhythmically with some gentle warm up stretches, followed by several carefully planned vinyasa krama sequences which will be completely within your comfort zone. These will include a slow flow combination of grounding standing poses, simple balances, twists and forward folds, then on to the floor for some deep yin stretches aimed to create spaciousness for the side body, lower back, shoulders and internal organs. We will culminate the practice with more passive supine postures and a restorative pose to calm the nervous system - followed by a 10 minute deep relaxation.

Cost - £25
