Self Care Circle - Yoga, Intention & Seasonal Wellbeing

Self Care Sessions are heartmade curated practices dedicated to bringing you back home to yourself. Gather within the changing seasons with Victoria Waits for her Self Care Circle, a wholesome workshop dedicated to bringing you back home to yourself, held in connection with those around you. For our practice in November, we come together to embrace the stillness of late autumn, the quiet landscapes, and the darkening days. This is a gentle time to turn your energy inward, rest deeply, and gather in circle to cultivate warmth and comfort as the outer world cools. This 90-minute practice is designed to rebalance your body, mind and heart. Think of it as a gentle reminder to breathe, a hug that holds you tight and a warm opportunity to sit with how you are navigating life at this moment in time. With down to earth inclusive guidance, eastern philosophies and techniques to help you within your self care journey, poetic visuals and prompts for self inquiry, this is the perfect place to recharge. Our practice together offers a harmonious blend of seasonal modalities with yoga as our foundation: Nourishing Yin Yoga for Winter Prep - Slow, supportive floor postures targeting deep connective tissues to build physical resilience, open tight joints, and settle the nervous system. TCM Insights & The Water Element - Focusing on the Water element (Kidney & Bladder meridians) to conserve your core energy (Jing), nourish your inner reserve and embrace quiet reflection. Stillness Meditation - Guided mindfulness centered on cultivating an internal flame, practicing self-compassion and embracing the beauty of slowing down. Cozy Yoga Nidra & Sound Immersion - Deeply restful guided sleep relaxation accompanied by soothing sound bowls and grounding, resinous essential oils like cedarwood and frankincense.
