Hi everyone and Happy April! The year is already zooming by so quickly and we have had quite a few warm and sunny days so far- I have even managed to whip out the Birkenstocks a few times, so I’m definitely feeling happy!!!
Towards the end of this month, we will be approaching Easter which is a time in the Christian calendar of rebirth, celebration and hope. Plus, quite possibly, the consumption of a fair few Easter eggs!!!
Last series we explored Spring, new beginnings, personal growth and the changing of the seasons. Therefore, this month, I wanted to focus the theme on celebrating those new beginnings and personal growth and all the wonder that exists in our lives by finding joy in the day to day.
This month’s breath work and asana will be focused on the sun and moon energies and leaning into the theme of Easter, which shows both the dark and light side of humanity. From sadness and pain, there came joy and hope. In Yoga, joy is considered to be a much deeper upwelling that comes from within ourselves and is not limited to what is happening around us. This is a useful lesson to remember when, perhaps, all is not exactly how you would like it in your world, or the wider world.
We will be working through heart openers, hip openers and twists to help clear away tension both physically and energetically, to calm the nervous system, improve spinal mobility and the flow of energy and aid digestion. All in all, a thorough body cleanse to help uplift, strengthen and find joy!
Whether you are of Christian faith, any other faith or of no faith, hope, joy and celebration all feel pretty darn good, so let’s embrace that idea throughout the month ahead and celebrate life in all its wonder.
I hope you all have a wonderful month and a fabulous Easter.
See you on the mat.
Love, health and happiness,
