Spring / Wood Seasonal Yoga Flow Classes

 Spring/ Wood classes build up a strong root to support an upward movement after our wintering, and focus to the year ahead. Classes will strengthen legs and focus on rooting to rise as well as side stretching to open the gallbladder meridian on the side of the body, and twists to massage into the internal organs and liver channel up the front of the torso. You could choose to practice a wood class when you are ready to shake off a time of rest and move,, or  when you wish to see more clearly the path ahead or feel more confident. 

Please find below a selection of Seasonal Vinyasa Flow Classes, as well as some specialised classes (wall, immunity, relaxing). In a Seasonal Flow, we aim to integrate Yoga asana with focusing on the meridian and organs of the season to help us feel more in balance. Choose a session which relates to the season of the year, your life, your day or which calls to you in this moment. Feel free to calm and ‘winter’ in Summer if that is what you need.
