The season of First Light snuggles in between the hibernation of Winter and the full-blown glory of Spring. It is that in-between time when it is still cold and sometimes grim but there are signs of Spring emerging all around us. This year Spring seems to be coming early with my daffs already in full bloom, plum blossom bursting open and the ducks already making sneaky nests.

We often step into this season feeling pretty jaded, getting over lurgies or just the effects of cabin fever and netflix binging. First light is here to gently nourish and restore your vitality at your own pace, steadily nurturing our organs and nervous system, and clearing our minds and surroundings of clutter. This is not the time for hard core detoxes (actually never in my books!) or boot camp bullying (absolutely never!) This is all about nurture with the carrot rather than the stick! Just like the tender crops need frost cloth and daily checking to survive and thrive, we too need tending and support. The yoga practices include lots of modifications so that they can be accessible to all.

If you fancy a holistic approach to clearing your mind and surroundings while sprucing up your health then the First light 6-week spruce up might be the seasonal medicine for you. We support the elimination organs – colon, kidneys, liver, skin and the lymphatic system to do their job keeping us healthy with yoga, breathwork, meditation and recipes. We experiment with munching on edible weeds, home sprouting, blending herbal teas and discovering the best times to drink them. Along the way we tackle some spring cleaning with recipes for natural cleaning products and herbal body care so that you can get rid of all the nasty chemicals.

If this sounds like your cup of (nettle and peppermint) tea then join me in person, live online or via a recording. You get a weekly email with all the ideas and invitations, so you are welcome to do all, some or nothing! We start on August 13th and run through until Sept 19th.
