Summer Solstice Yin Yoga & MOVEMENT

This event is now FULL

Each time the season shifts, we have this amazing opportunity to pause and tune into the natural rhythms of the planet we call home. And what better way to do this than by tuning deeply into these bodies we call home.

Kate Smith will guide us through one of her transformative evenings to honor the shift of the seasons. The class will incorporate 45 minutes of movement to pump the blood and stimulate the lymphatic system and meridians of the body. (These movements will be similar to the ones we do in our Yin Movement classes.) This is the SUMMER we are celebrating, after all. The season of the HEART and the element of FIRE. This is when we are encouraged to blossom and bloom and RADIATE to our fullest potential. Shine, Yogis, Shine.

The first half of the class will speak to the blood and the muscle.  After that, we will dive deeply into the fascial tissues beneath our skin and the bones of our joints as we hold longer stretches in a Yin series. A perfect balance of yang and yin to honor this Summer Solstice Evening.

The longest day of the year, Yogis.

Full of LIGHT.

As always, Kate will be creating one of her magical essential oil blends to accompany the evening. The blend is in honor of the season of the heart and the element of fire. Each student will be given a small bottle of the blend to take home.

Thursday, June 21 – The evening of the Summer Solstice – 6:30-8:30 pm

Spring Equinox Yin Yoga

by Leave a Comment

Join Kate Smith for a 2-hour Yin Yoga class in celebration of the Spring Equinox, y’all!

Spring is a time of bursting forth and blossoming. We shed the layers of protection from the chills of winter and venture out into the freshness of spring with new life. This process of bursting forth can feel vulnerable and raw at times. In Chinese Medicine Theory, we are shifting from the season of the Kidney (Water) to the season of the Liver (wood). Kate will guide us through poses to honor this transformation and facilitate the true amazement of this shift.

Kate will be making one of her special essential oil blends in honor of the Spring Equinox. Each student will take home a small bottle of the special blend.

Join Kate Smith on the evening of the Summer Solstice to honor the shift of seasons from Spring to Summer.

Summer is a Yang time of year. Let’s use Yin Yoga, Essential Oils, & Meditation to balance the heat and fire of summer.

In Summer, we burst forth from the hibernation of Winter and the budding of Spring to venture into the FIRE of the Summer season when our hearts can truly blossom. We will discuss how this transformation of the seasons plays into our yoga practice as well as how to harness the vibrant and BRIGHT yang energy of the Summer.

MommaEarth2Metal2016

THIS EVENT IS NOW FULL.

In Chinese Medicine, late Summer is associated with the element of the EARTH and the organ of the SPLEEN. Fall is associated with the element of METAL and the organ of the LUNG. Kate will discuss the significance of this shift in seasons and how we can look at this transition in terms of our own self-healing. Chinese Medicine views health as a true mind, body, and soul balance. We will discuss how Yoga and Chinese Medicine can overlap to offer us perspective, insight, and clarity moving into this new season of Autumn.

Kate Smith will lead us through yin yoga postures to honor the organs of the season. She will also make one of her special essential oil blends for the event and incorporate the blend into the class. A few small bottles of the Autumnal Equinox Blend will be for sale after the event for an $8 charge.
