Spring is in the air, the sun is out and signs of new life budding.... time for new beginnings! Spring is an opportunity for renewal and rebirth—for planting seeds to nurture the unending cycle of growth and change —a shedding of old layers and habits. Each waking moment is an opportunity to be born again. We can begin to experience the sheer joy of present moment awareness. Showing up regularly on your mat ensures your body will get what it needs for a gentle, gradual reduction of the winter coat, and your mind will wake up from the fog of wintertime habits. The energy is one of lightness, freshness and renewal. This season provides us with the ability to change and to be flexible. Join me on a journey to better understand our energy centres or chakras and to regulate our energy levels through movement (Asana), breath (Pranayama), Affirmations (Sankalpa), and Meditation. As we cultivate a gentle chakra balancing practice through yoga and mindfulness, we learn to open up and release what we want to leave behind, allowing ourselves a fresh start for Spring and new growth. Let's get on our mats and align ourselves to the energy of this exciting season!
