Spring - Wood Element Yin Yoga

This yin class for the Wood element is focused on the liver and gallbladder meridians, which are associated with the season of spring and themes of renewal and growth. Poses that stretch and compress the hips and side body, such as hip openers, and side bends are particularly effective for stimulating the flow of Qi and releasing emotions like anger and frustration that can cause stagnation. In spring, those aspects of us that have been dormant over the winter months begin to awaken. Just as nature enters a cycle of renewal, growth and expansion—so does the energy within us.
