In this course we explore practices to support the colder winter months, our immunity, our capacity for tranquility, peace and rest.
In Chinese Medicine, winter is a time to slow down, rest, and become quieter. Sadly often our society and culture demands the opposite in December! How do we balance our need for hibernation and our need to honour our social and work commitments?
In this course we'll explore practices which help us find the calm in the storm, prevent fatigue and overwhelm, and remind us how to be more restful and tranquil.

VINYASA YOGA FUNDAMENTALS:
How to do sun salutations (vinyasa) correctly

Sun salutations (or vinyasas): we do them endlessly in flow based yoga, but do we really know what we’re doing? Have you ever even been taught this in detail?
There’s an assumption that because they are so common in practice, that they must be simple, and that we know how to do them - but this is usually not the case.
In the course we go back to basics, learning each posture, alignment, how to modify to get the most from the sequence, and why this sequence contains within it all the building blocks for strength and flexibility for every other yoga pose in your practice.
