In autumn we learn more about ourselves, perhaps, than in any other season. Autumn marks the end of the growing season, the abundance of the sun and summer energy. A turning inward, a falling away of outer-directed energy. Leaves turn color and drop. Autumn teaches us about our own cycles of creating and letting go, and restoring our energy for the winter to come.
The energy of autumn, is related to the vata dosha in Ayurveda or metal element in Traditional Chinese Medicine, representing the importance of slowing down, grounding and connecting with the earth and its rhythm, turning inwards and letting go of the waste, the old and stale in our lives.
Silence is ultimately something that comes from the heart, not from any set of conditions outside of us.
Autumn returns us to our essence, the shorter days tell us to slow down the pace of our lives and step away from the duties and complications of modern day living. It’s time to rest, relax, release and restore our energy and breathe into
the inner realm of our lives that can bring more comfort, nourishment and balance.
What to expect: This Restore and Renew workshop is a call to push your ‘Pause Button” and retreat in yourself. To find inner silence and re-connect with that sacred and healing place inside yourself and the natural cycles of life. Through the art of pranayama’s, restorative and healing yoga practices we release the unnecessary and tensions of daily life. Nowadays many of us thrive on time pressure and are addicted to high levels of cortisol in our bodies, leaving our nervous system overcharged. In the long term this will leaves our vital energy depleted. When we allow ourselves to surrender in stillness, our bodies and mind start to recharge, relax, heal and rejuvenate our subtle and energy body. This workshop will boost your immunity system and vitality for the winter season, while deeply relaxing your mind and nervous system.
