Balancing the Earth Element

 - 
Duration: 
65 mins

Feel nourished and nurtured with this centring and calming class with Annie.

Balance your connection with the earth element through EBR 1, the Earth Sequence and the Maltese Cross. Find out about the energy centre, or chakra, relating to the earth through relaxation and meditation. Tune into nature and calm the body and the mind.

Explore the earth element in your yoga practice through the sequences and postures designed to balance the lower part of the body, which correlate to our connection with the earth around us. Learn an ancient Indian mudra sequence to honour the earth and then relax into EBR 1.

Tune into nature and the rhythm of the planet through the Earth Sequence (Prithvi Namaskara) before settling into a great yoga posture; the Maltese Cross (Shava Udarakarshanasana). Find out about the energy centre relating to the earth through the Earth Meditation.

 

Yoga class contents

Activation

Get moving, mobilise your spine and feel energised - includes shaking, tapping, scooping movements and figure 8s.

Earth Sequence (Prithvi Namaskara)

Salutation to the Earth is a real stress buster! This gentle flowing movement allows you to tune into the Earth's hearbeat. Reconnect with the Earth as you activate the mooladhara chakra helping to transform fear and resistance into hope and joy.

Energy Block Release 1 (EBR1)

A gentle yoga sequence that clears stress, relieves neck, shoulder and back tension and emotional blocks. The result? A calm clear mind and relaxed body - who doesn't want some of that!

Earth Meditation (Prithvi Dharanam)

This guided meditation balances the energies at the base of the spine, de-stressing, calming and grounding you - bringing stillness. You will feel as steady as a rock.

Hi, love this class but had a question about the maltese cross and the fact that there are no body preps done prior. So, is the ebr1 enough? also there is a relaxation part to this class mentioned & pictured in the description but does not happen. Is it somewhere else? with thanks Robyn

Just what I needed today ! Such a powerful and immediate result, relaxing and uplifting. Very much like the earth salutation with EBR1, with the mudra's. Thank you Annie.
