A SPRING CARE
PACKAGE
FOR YOGA TEACHERS & PRACTITIONERS
To soothe, revive or inspire you into a new Spring.
After what feels like another long winter of managing the challenges of Covid (and with global geopolitics playing out violently), it might be that you are feel depleted or fragmented in some way. We hope there is something in this collection of practices and creative resources that will be soothing or inspiring.
You'll find a collection of our favourite poems, some journalling prompts, a playlist of uplifting tunes (and yes, some birdsong!), a Yoga Nidra practice on the theme of freshness, and a guest practice from Rachael Moore.
We hope you can make time to enjoy them. Do get in touch and let us know which are your favourites. We'd love to hear from you.
YOGA NIDRA
Carve out a moment in your day to embody the feeling and freshness of Spring with this 15-20 minute yoga nidra practice.
PICK-ME-UP POETRY
... and a touch of art!
We so often turn to the wisdom of poetry in our Barefoot Body trainings.
So we've curated a collection of uplifting, hopeful poems as well as a piece of spring-inspired art, that we've bound together in a digital pack for you to download and pore over.
We recommend reading with your favourite tea or coffee blend, and perhaps a biscuit (or two).
You can also listen to a reading of Mary Oliver's "Among The Trees" by Amanda Palmer here.
UNFURL YOGA
FLOW PRACTICE
A short 10-minute flow from Guest Tutor, Rachael Moore, that encourages a gentle unfurling of body and mind through movement and breath.
A beautiful way to start the day with intention but also lovely anytime you need a bit of movement. No props required — just you, your breath, and a desire to get moving.
CREATIVE INSPIRATION
Get your inspiration flowing with some creative practices including journalling and collaging. This practice may help you:
-
connect with the uplifting qualities of Spring
-
understand your relationship with new opportunities and fresh starts
-
encourage you to move out of your comfort zone by exploring projects and skills you'd like to pursue over the course of the season
Download our Spring Creativity Pack and set aside some time for play and reflection.
