Description

Between the equinox and Samhain, this Aroma Yoga Workshop will hold space for you to sink into your roots and reap the harvest of the summer months. At this time of year we start to let go of the summer months and welcome the winter months: a transition from light to dark, from external to internal, from action to introspection. This time is about flowers turning to fruits, reaping what we have sowed so far this year, and reaching for our aspirations. As such, we will have a mindful practice using meditation, physical yoga practice, with the assistance of powerful and enriching doTERRA Essential Oils.

This class will run from 2:30pm - 5pm and will include:

- Introduction and intention setting
- Guided meditation
- Pranayama (breath practice)
- Asana (physical yoga practice)


THE YOGA

This Yoga practice will be inspired by the theme of reaping what we have sown over the summer months in order to prepare ourselves for the darker months. We will explore this physically through gently flowing Hatha Asana and Gentle Somatic Yoga.

This practice will be gentle but also energising and grounding. It is suitable for all levels, beginners included.

THE AROMA

The Oils used in this workshop will assist regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system - the system on the body that keeps you calm, content and able to restore, rest and digest with efficiency. Using only the purest and most beneficial oils - doTERRA Pure Natural Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils including Frankincense: the king of Essential Oils and the oil of warriors; Cedarwood for grounding and calming the nerves; Wild Orange to bring joy and to remind us of the sunshine; and Balance: a blend which includes centring Frankincense, soothing Blue Chamomile and grounding Ho Wood.
