Join Emma to celebrate Lammas with a Yoni Yoga class, as a way of being in gratitude to, and honouring, nature’s abundant energy at harvest time – a job well done – and an opportunity to come deeper home to yourself on this shifting energy.
Emma believes that the more we recognise and celebrate the little shifts in Earth’s natural rhythms the more we can become attuned to our own nature and feel more grounded in our lives.
Yoni Yoga is a nourishing, nurturing, restful, healing and transformative practice that encourages a deepening connection between the light in the heart space and the creative energy in the womb space (even if you don’t have a womb there is an energy).
It is an absolute boon for women of all ages. helping you to come home to a deeper sense of Self. It can also support you in finding a more balanced menstrual cycle, help you navigate IVF, pregnancy, birth, the post-natal period, into the peri-menopause and beyond!
The practice itself incorporates various tantric yoga techniques including asana (gentle postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), mantras (sound), mudras (hand gestures) and yoga nidra (a guided relaxation). You are encouraged to close your eyes an ego within.
Lammas is the final of the four fire festivals in the ancient Pagan calendar. The year begins with Samhain in October, preparing for winter and the end of the harvest. Next is Imbolc in February to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of lambing season. Beltaine, in May, celebrates the fertility of the land and the summer ahead. Lammas in August rounds off the year by welcoming the beginning of the harvest, with the first grain, and the end of summer.
Interwoven within these festivals is the concepts of light and dark, and the year is divided into a dark half (beginning with Samhain) and a light half (beginning with Beltaine). While the days are still longer than the nights, we are descending increasingly into the darkness at Lammas again.
