Yin Summer Series

Yoga Spirit, the local Yoga club in Whanganui, is excited to invite interested players to embrace the fullness and aliveness of early summer with their upcoming five-week Yin Yoga series. This summer series is designed to help balance the fire element within, which is the energy of summer in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

In TCM, summer is considered a time of maximum activity and outgoingness, characterised by heat and a natural inclination to move outward. The fire element, known as 'Shen', governs the heart, mind, and spirit. It is crucial to ensure the fire energy is balanced to experience the joy, fun, and inspiration associated with this season, without feeling manic or anxious.

The Yin Yoga practice offered in this series will specifically focus on the heart and small intestine meridians, which are two pathways related to maintaining balanced fire energy. This gentle all-levels class is suitable for everyone, including those new to yoga, individuals with injuries, and those who are pre- or postnatal. Modifications and props will be provided to support your practice and ensure a safe and nurturing experience.

Throughout the 75-minute Yin practice, you will be held in a supportive and welcoming space, allowing for natural, therapeutic, and nourishing effects. Breathwork and meditation practices will also be incorporated to enhance your connection to self and promote a return to wholeness.

The benefits of Yin Yoga extend beyond the physical as it addresses the connective tissue, reducing pain and stiffness while improving body posture, strength, and endurance. This practice also cultivates elegance, harmony, greater mobility, and overall health. Following the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yin Yoga works with the meridian pathways of the body, ensuring a healthy flow of Qi, which is equivalent to prana or lifeforce.

Join Yoga Spirit for this enlightening and rejuvenating Yin Yoga series, and discover the transformative power of balancing your fire energy. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience the holistic benefits of Yin Yoga in a supportive environment. Sign up today and ignite your summer with joy, harmony, and inspiration!
