Wheel Of The Year: Celebrating The Spring Equinox

This five-day celebration of the Spring Equinox guides you into alignment with this important time of the year through meditation, yoga and reflection. We begin with a meditation to see the Equinox through the eyes of our ancestors and then explore some of the aspects of nature that are often celebrated at this time. We look at some Ayurvedic techniques to assist your body with its natural springtime detoxification, and practice yogic breathing for cleansing and clarity. The course finishes with a reflection on how the themes of the Spring Equinox are manifesting in your own life, with space to set an intention or goal for the coming months.
The Spring Equinox marks the turning point when the hours of light transition to become longer than the hours of darkness, and brings with it new life and the promise of abundance to come, and this course is intended to bring you some insight and enjoyment at this time.

Lección 1: The Turning Point

At the Spring Equinox, the transition is made to the days becoming longer than the nights until the Summer Solstice in June. This first session introduces you to the Equinox through the eyes of our ancestors to understand the importance of this transition.

Lección 2: Celebrating The Spring Equinox

This session explores some of the aspects of nature that are often celebrated around the time of the Spring Equinox, with suggestions for ways that you can bring them into your home or your life, and mark the season for yourself.

Lección 3: Sping Cleaning Your Body

In Ayurveda, spring is considered to be the best time of the year for detoxification, as our bodies are naturally letting go of the heaviness from the winter months and becoming more active. This session explores two simple Ayurvedic detoxification techniques: the neti pot and a one-day cleanse, eating just the Ayurvedic meal kitcheri.

Lección 4: Brahmari Breathing

Brahmari breathing, also known as humming bee breathing, is a Yogic breathing technique where the exhalations are hummed. This helps to clean the nose and sinues and encourage mental clarity and calmness. In this session, we practice Brahmari breathing to clear our minds and bring focus to our intentions for the coming months.

Lección 5: Aligning With The Spring Equinox

In the final session, we'll reflect on how the themes of the Spring Equinox are showing up in our own lives. You are guided through a meditation to leave the past behind and plant a seed of intention for the months to come, and to acknowledge the real-life steps that you are going to take to bring it into fruition.
