Autumn Workshop: Fallen Leaves Return to their Roots

Autumn asks us to soften, release and return.

Join me at Yogahome for a two hour workshop unwinding into the season with qigong and yin yoga.

Guided by the Daoist view of living in harmony with nature’s cycles, we take our cue from the Chinese proverb 落叶归根 (luò yè guī gēn): “fallen leaves return to their roots”. A reminder to trust the unfolding of the season as we slow down and let go, just as leaves surrender to the earth to make space for new life to grow.

We begin with the meditative Chinese movement practice of qigong to drop into being and encourage the healthy flow of qi, our vital energy. Moving through autumn’s Metal Element forms, we refine our capacity to release, to yield and to discern what holds true value at this time of year.

We then transition into yin yoga to soften resistance and nourish the Metal meridians of the lungs and large intestine – the organs of taking in and letting go – inviting deep release and quiet restoration.

Cycling through the transformative nature of these energy practices, we honour what needs to be released and what wants to emerge. Leave feeling rested, spacious and more connected to your inner and outer nature.
