Urban Retreat journey of the elements with Kate Ashley (Rooted In Yoga) 2nd March & 3rd March 2019 / 13.00 - 16.00 Exploring the Chinese Cycle of Creation (Traditional Chinese 5 Element theory) through Yin Yoga. What are the elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water & how do they relate to our physical, emotional, mental & energetic bodies? Two 3hr workshops bind together to create a cleansing experience through a fusion of Yin Yoga and Traditional Chinese Element Theory.
