In the Five Element tradition of Chinese Medicine, the Metal Element is honored throughout the season of Autumn. During this time of year the natural world demonstrates the necessity of pulling back on energetic demands and drawing precious resources inward and downward to the hidden realms within the plants, bulbs, seeds, and beneath the soil. Not surprisingly, the organs associated with the Metal Element are the Lungs and Large Intestine, as they govern the balance of drawing in and releasing what is no longer necessary in service of fortifying what is most precious, enduring, and of value.
In this workshop, Yin Yoga specialist, Machelle Lee, offers a seasonal workshop to nourish you physically and psychologically as you transition into the season of Fall. Yin Yoga utilizes gentle, long held floor postures to care for the most subtle tissues that house the waterrich pathways of chi (lifeforce). She will lead participants through a meditative Yin Yoga session stimulating the acupressure lines within connective tissues that support the Lung/Large Intestine organs and meridian pathways.
Throughout the practice, Machelle will share engaging descriptions of the physical functions of these organs, the psycho-spiritual gifts of the Metal Element, as well as share simple ritual ideas to connect your life meaningfully to the season of Fall.
No prior experience with yoga is necessary to benefit from this workshop.
