The summer equinox, the longest day of the year, can be linked to the ovulation phase of a woman's menstrual cycle. This phase, occurring roughly in the middle of the cycle, is characterized by high energy and confidence, similar to the vibrancy and activity of summer. Just as the summer solstice marks a peak in daylight, ovulation marks a peak in estrogen and testosterone levels, leading to heightened physical and mental capabilities. 
By understanding these cycles, women can better align their activities and energy levels with their bodies' natural rhythms, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Final Workshop in a series of 4 2.30-5pm Amo and Pax, Kilmacanogue.

Unwind after a long day, come to your mat, get grounded and walk away feeling both nourished and free. This class is accessible for all levels. It is a mixture of hatha and vinyasa from Rise up and Dance above Shoreline Bray on the southern cross.

A Yin Yoga class usually consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body—the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues. The poses are held for up to five minutes, sometimes longer. This intimate practice of yoga requires students to be ready to get intimate with the self, with feelings, sensations, and emotions, something of which I have noticed can be easy to avoid in a fast paced yang yoga practice. Yin yoga is often used in programs that deal with addictions, eating disorders, anxiety and deep pain or trauma. It won’t be easy or lazy, just slow, thoughtful, and grounding. .
