Yin Yoga Series. The five elements theory & practice - Water Workshop

>> Booking/Payment in advance <<

Yin  Yoga is a restorative practice that works passively in the deepest  tissues of the body like the joints, ligaments, connective tissue and  fascia. Its practice invites stillness with long held postures and it  has an important meditative aspect.

This  powerful but gentle practice is inspired by ancient Chinese Taoist  practices and works through the energetic channels, the meridians, which  are the conductors of our vital energy - Qi.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine there are 5 elements in nature: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal

The  5 element framework can be used for understanding patterns in ourselves  and in all natural phenomena. Each element corresponds with different  seasons, emotions, biological functions, organs, directions of energy  and meridians. Imbalances between the elements and their corresponding  meridians can cause energy to become blocked or deficient.

***

Winter Season is associated with the WATER element

The  water element is associated with the Kidneys and Bladder meridians and  organs. If we think about it, these organs filter and hold water present  in our physical bodies. The associated emotions are trust &  confidence or fear if we have an imbalance of the water element.
