Preparing the Body to Shift from Autumn to Winter: Restorative Yoga & (Optional) Acupuncture with Maggie Dunne Sunday, 15 November | 3pm-5:30pm | €45 In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the middle of November marks a deep transitional pivot,the late phase of autumn is rapidly handing the reins over to winter. It is a seasonal shift during which life's accumulated demands, minor sleep deficits, and stress of the preceding eleven months can catch up on the body all at once! This nourishing workshop will combine slow movement; relaxing, supported stretches; and healing acupuncture (optional) to help participants ease the body into winter, stay grounded, and adjust one's inner rhythm. Restorative yoga, is a slow-paced practice which focuses on long-held poses and on using props such as bolsters, blocks, cushions, blankets, and belts to allow the body to rest, release tension, and rebalance the nervous system. We will work with acupuncture points (or acupressure if one prefers) that focus on boosting energy levels for the colder months ahead and on supporting kidney function (to store winter energy), the lungs (against cold, dry wind), and the spleen (to fight off cumulative fatigue). Suitable for all levels and during pregnancy. Please inform the teacher if you are pregnant or email us at yoga@little-bird.ie.
