Welcome to Day 3.

In our first presentation of the day, "The Vayus and the Inner Body" we zoom closer to explore how the technology of Hatha Yoga continues to leave an imprint on our contemporary practice.

The consideration of the vayus (winds) also shines a light on why it is a good idea to take rest during our bleed time, or at least refrain from inverting the body! On this note, please check in on how you feel today and practice responding to what you truly need. It might be the "Feminine Flow" practice or it could be to simply skip to the sealing of the practice and then take some deep rest.

However, in our "Feminine Flow" we explore how it is to move in more "unconventional" ways. Ways which honour the curves and waves within a woman's body. We practice to invite vitality to flow, honouring the respecting the inner feeling as opposed to manipulating the body from its external form alone.

Today it is also my honour to welcome Haylee Clare as our special guest. Haylee will share one of her passions which is her voice and song. She will guide you in a vocal activation session, in recognition of the link between a woman's voice and yoni! When either one is threatened the other will also respond. If the mouth shuts - so will the yoni!

In the presentation "Return to Source" we revisit Menarche as well as the language and vocabulary that has been used to describe female anatomy.

Our second practice, "Honouring the Elements" is a beautiful mudra

and mantra sequence intended to remind us of our innate connection with

the natural world, as well as to pay homage to the generosity of the elements

within/around.

The final practice of the day is based on a Tao practice called, the Deer Exercise. This is a simple act of self-care for breast health and vitality.

It is with such gratitude that today we are able to move and explore these practices...thank you!
