Lunge Japanese Yoga Autumn Intensive 2016 – it’s a wrap!

Reflection after the Intensive week

Throughout this intensive we moved from the abundance of summer, towards the beginnings of the cooler seasons. Autumn brings about a time of contracting inward, strengthening the body and mind’s ability to let go of things that no longer serve us. With letting go we set ourselves up to maintain a positive health routine for the rest of the year; physically, mentally emotionally, spiritually… whatever is needed for the individual!

Summer… the season of joy and laughter
