The five elements of Chinese Medicine - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water - are represented in all big and small cycles of life. Join us for an elemental journey on which we discover the elements and their meaning through movement.
This three-hour session is a combination of Chiara’s most liked classes, Gentle Flow and Shake The Dust.
After a short theoretical introduction to get a shared understanding of the five elements and arrive in the groupmind, we begin with a slow opening of breath, body, and mind to expand gently through the element of Wood into the practice. At the zenith of our yang energy, we embrace the Fire with heart-opening movements to shake with what is already there. The grounding and digesting element of Earth will take us back into a gentle flow. Catching our breath and releasing what is still stuck with the support of the element Metal so we can dive deep into our yin energy. Finding full rest with the element of Water and a restorative part of the practice that ends in a long Savasana.
Embarking from the journey re-connected to ourselves and maybe with some insights into what the elements hold for us. For everyone who has a body. No need to have previous experience or knowledge of Chinese Medicine and its elements.
Doors will open 20 minutes before the journey :)
