This class explores two complementary qualities of energy in the body: the solar quality of Pingala - heat, activity, and vitality; and the lunar quality of Ida - calmness and introspection. In yogic philosophy, these are described as two of the main nadis, energetic pathways that run alongside the spine, and their balance is thought to support a regulated, responsive nervous system.
Rather than treating activation and calm as opposites to choose between, this practice explores how they work together - much like the interplay between sympathetic (activating) and parasympathetic (calming) states in the nervous system. Through movement and breathwork, we'll draw on both sun and moon qualities to build a more balanced, adaptable relationship to our own energy.
Props to have to hand: a yoga strap and a cushion.
