Elemental Yoga (25 class pack) • 1h 14m
Spring is here and many of us are ready to shed our winter coats.
Today's elemental Yin Yoga practice focuses on the Chinese Element of wood which is all about new growth. The element of wood is also related to the Liver/Gallbladder meridians helping us clear out the old, prepare for the new and detoxify the body. Join me for a 75 minute detoxifying yin yoga practice to prepare your body for Spring!
There are 5 elements in Chinese Elemental Theory: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water. These elements are thought to be the building blocks of all life. Each element works with the others in an interdependent network. Elements have related seasons, times of day, meridian systems, colors that represent them.
