Autumn Equinox: Finding Balance with the Koshas
1:30pm — 4:00pm | All Levels
"If a year was tucked inside of a clock, then Autumn would be the magic hour,"
— Victoria Erickson
Join me for a vinyasa workshop which focuses on balance and grounding via an exploration of the five koshas providing a lens through which to view our whole selves at this interesting time of year.
Equinox refers to a time when day and night are of equal length. An opportunity to honour the balance and interaction of light and dark, express gratitude for the changes that come with the passing of time, and to reflect on what we would like to let go of, as we enter a period of rest following the busy summer months settling into a new equilibrium.
Annamaya Kosha will be explored via a creative and at times challenging but grounding vinyasa practice also balancing the increasing vata energy and harnessing our attention through standing asanas, balances, forward folds and more. Variations/options will accommodate both those newer to yoga and yoga teachers/longer term practitioners.
Breathwork and accessible mindfulness practices provide opportunities to explore Pranamaya and Manomaya koshas. Connecting with the collective sense of nature so visible in autumn, the slowing down, the symphony of colour and scent before nature rests. Yoga Nidra will close the practice inviting a period of reflection upon the two inner layers of ourselves Vijnanamaya (wisdom) and Anandamaya (bliss).
Whilst the focus will be on a physical asana practice with breathwork and relaxation this workshop offers an opportunity to learn a little about these layers of awareness originating from the Taittiriya Upanishad. The Koshas add a richness and depth to our yoga practice helping us to take on the busyness of the season ahead. Homemade cake and refreshments will be offered towards the end of the workshop.
