This is the second in a series of 4 workshops throughout the year focussing on the elements.
Grace. Lightness. Thought
A 2 hour exploration into one of the four elements, air, fire, earth and water. In this season we focus on the element of Air.
Air relates to our breath, our voice and our heart.
We will explore the element of Air through ritual, mantra, meditation, breathwork, mandala and sound.
What is Mandala Yoga?
Mandala is a playful practice in which you move 360 degrees around the mat, linking movement and breath, allowing the practice to become a fluid dance between yoga asana. Mandala begins and ends with time spent mindfully opening the body in nourishing yin postures. Each practice is inspired by one of the four elements.
