As the season shifts, Spring invites us to awaken, refresh and embrace new beginnings. This nourishing Yoga and Meditation Morning is designed to help you connect with your inner wisdom and plant the seeds of intention for the months ahead.
We will begin with a grounding breathwork practice led by Vanessa Michielon, allowing you to release what no longer serves you and create space for renewal. You will then flow through a dynamic and heart-opening Vinyasa sequence, designed to energise your entire body and cultivate a sense of expansion. Moving with the rhythm of your breath, you will flow through an uplifting sequence of standing poses, gentle backbends, and deep stretches to awaken your heart centre and invite in fresh energy.
Ciara McGinley will then close the session with a restorative meditation and journaling practice to cultivate calm, clarity and self-connection. Through a nature-inspired gratitude meditation, you will be gently guided to reflect on the season ahead, planting intentions that align with your wellbeing. A final journaling exercise will allow you to solidify your vision, ensuring your intentions remain present in both moments of stillness and in your daily life.
Come as you are and leave feeling rested and recharged, ready to embrace a joyful spring ahead.
All are welcome, regardless of experience level.
