Hey Wildling,
Happy April blessings! Spring has finally sprung (I think!) and we are able to feel the sunshine on our faces and feel a deep shift within our bodies and minds. You may start to notice the de-cluttering appearing within your physical & mental life, this could mean clearing out the cupboards, taking stuff to the charity shops, de-spamming your email inbox, categorizing & making lists. Its time to clear space for the new, we have emerged from your winter caves to create a clearer pathway as we move forwards for the rest of the year. This means loosening the grip of the things that may have felt to heavy, to recalibrate and be willing to let go to move forwards.
Spring is a time of expansion and transformation, to move through the lessons of life and gain wisdom from truly feeling our feelings, acknowledging the hard moments and shining brighter through each chapter we move through. Let your face towards the sunlight, let stress shrug off the shoulders and lets enjoy practicing together celebrating the qualities of abundance, curiosity, inner power and self belief.
Themes:
The Solar plexus & the Root Chakra are playing a big part in this energy of Spring. Within TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) we also celebrate the element of wood where we rebirth, grow & expand. The organs related to Spring are the Liver & Gallbladder which are connected to planning and organising, when we create a structure or routine it can help us to create more space for other things. You can find more on this in this months blog post below!
Spring intentions:
Laughter & Authenticity
Playful challenges
Liver meridian support
Hibiscus tea
Dance more
Sound healing with chimes & voice
Walking in nature every day
Creating for the Wildlove Collection

No experience is needed, just a need for rest. This is a perfect practice for everyone, busy minds, all facets of stress in modern lives. This is the perfect place to reset.

That we can all be held, without interaction or expression, that we can all softly fall into stillness and ease, comfortably without expectation.

Celebrating the arrival of Spring! Spring equinox is a day that can help us appreciate the balance in life. Light & dark are equal, yin & yang, masculine & feminine. It's a beautiful time to notice the significant changes in nature, we may still have grey clouds and raindrops but you will notice a pop of colour in the hedgerows, magnolia in bloom and gorgeous daffodils shining in all their glory as the energy of Spring doesn't hold back and bursts itsway out of the Winter slumber.
Here are a few playlists that are wonderful to listen to anytime of day, you have a little two playlists that can help you shake out tension, have a little dance or just enjoy something different to listen too!

+ Classes are inclusive to all, Victoria feels yoga is for every, body. No matter what age or ability you are, you will be held and supported in your uniqueness. Every class offers layers and suitability to every participant, no matter how many are in a class. Beginners are welcome to join anytime!
+ Classes, workshops and events are non-refundable. Cancellations must be made 72 hours before the session starts. Your booking can be rescheduled to another event free of charge once. No shows will still be charged, rescheduling after the event is not applicable. If Wildlove cancels the event you will be refunded.
+ No photo policy - This is something sacred to Victoria's offerings, she will never photograph a session while teaching or its participants. If you attend you are welcome to take photos of the set up/alter/soundscape your personal group or selfies. Please refrain from photographing others, this honours and respects the personal energy and protects their vulnerability while attending.

+ Personal space while setting up is important for the events, please do not disturb the setting up time.
