Winter Yoga Sequence- strengthening kidneys and bladder

Winter yoga -one sequence created to repeat throughout the season of winter everyday or several times a week, with the focus on strengthening and supporting the kidneys and bladder. In Chinese Medicine these organs are paired yin and yang organs and are stimulated during the season of winter. This yoga sequence was designed to support your physical and emotional health. The emotion that is associated with winter is fear and extreme anxiety. The energy of bladder is letting go which is the yang organ. The energy of the kidneys is yin and you want to build, support and nourish your kidneys as they are your life force energy. I have included a 5 minute chant that you can sing with Kavita Macmillen and myself, to move into fear and anxiety, instead of holding tightly to these emotions you can let these emotions move through you. This 35 minute yoga sequence is deeply restorative, and strengthens the back body and kidneys. There is an emphasis on supporting the low back through broadening horizontally. This sequence strengthens the bladder and internal organs through the pelvis through twists, compression and circulation.

Let's do you together!
