At My Yoga Place Yoga Studio, we believe that knowledge is the power, the more you know about yoga the more you will get out of your practice. This course is a 5 week journey that will help you develop self awareness, daily structure and create a better balance with the aim of living a more harmonous life..

You are welcome to drop in weekly to this course but pre booking the entire curse is cheaper and you get an ebook as opposed to just the live yin sessions.

Week One. The wood element.

This 90 minute session will offer yin yoga poses, pranayama and a meditation practice that is specific to the element wood (refer to article for insight) This practice will target the liver and gallbladder which are the meridians of the wood element and anatomically we will target the outer hip, IT band, Inner thigh and front of the foot, Also the ribcage and waist.

Things to consider during this practice: 

Most of these poses work intensively with the liver and gallbladder and can trigger reactions such as frustration or anger, please just let these emotions arise and know that we are releasing blockages, they will pass. 

The energy of or liver is in charge of tempering our emotions by regulation the smooth flow of energy within the body. Harmonise by working with loving kindness and compassion to yourself whilst practicing, be gentle with your self as you remove blockages.
