I have found so much power in the exploration of layers and I hope it resonates with you too.
At a time where there is turbulence around us, we can tune in to this centre as an anchor for our own sense of clarity, finding a depth, a rhythm and an experience that meets us where we are in the moment. In each class, we will use repetition in movement, or in focus, to allow the body to slowly unravel, shedding layers of tension and bringing ourselves deeper and deeper in towards our centre, our truth. And yet the intention is still so fitting - it’s funny how it always seems to work out that way… When we filmed these classes, the world looked very different to how it does right now, and for many of us, what we need is a little different. This month, I invite you to come into a practice of moving through layers to find a greater sense of connection. I hope you enjoy them and I look forward to hearing how you get on. And so here are our practices for the month, in the intention of Spring Cleaning.
With so many of us at home right now, or out of our regular routine, I feel there is a great opportunity for this sense of Spring Cleaning as we recalibrate to a new way of being, existing in simplicity and clearing out that which we don't need. Cleansing breathing and building on the more dynamic elements of our yoga practice can help to stimulate from the inside out, encouraging increased vitality again as we head towards the spring! The qualities of these elements (heavy, cold, wet, sticky) can mean we experience stagnation in body and mind - respiratory congestion, sluggish digestion, slower metabolism, lowered immune system, winter blues - it's all part of a yearly cycle explored in these ancient systems of life science.Īt this time of year, we can encourage a lifting of the downward kapha energy by introducing stimulating practices into our days. Winter and early spring is the Ayurvedic kapha season, which is governed by the elements of earth and water. I've been learning a little more about Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga.

However, I took some time to consider it all and realised that in fact, the timing for this month's series in a broader contact actually feels really right and fitting. It feels as if there is so much I could share right now in hope that it supports how ever you might be feeling right now and I was worried that having recorded this month's videos several weeks ago, I could have been more apt with the intention.
