Cycle of Life Yoga Class with Niomi
By Niomi Smart
Join me for a creative 60-minute ‘Mandala Flow’ practice, where we will explore the natural cycles of life through dynamic movement and breath.
In this session, we’ll honour the ebb and flow of life’s cycles, embracing the lessons and rhythms of our internal and external worlds.
We’ll begin with a grounding warm-up to centre ourselves, followed by sun salutations and a dynamic flow. Through a creative sequence of yoga asanas inspired by the mandala, we’ll move 360 degrees around our mats, reflecting the cyclical nature of life.
As we flow, you’ll be encouraged to cultivate awareness of the cycles within you and around you, fostering a sense of harmony and balance. The practice will conclude with restorative poses that invite you to integrate your experiences, grounding you in the present moment.
Together, we’ll create a nurturing space to honour the cycles of life, leaving you feeling inspired, rejuvenated, and empowered to navigate your path with grace and intention.
Level
This practice features an energising flow with challenging poses and transitions, so some yoga experience is advised. Modifications will be provided to suit your level and support your journey of rising into your personal power. You’ll embrace the natural rhythms of life, cultivate a deeper connection with yourself, and recognise the strength that comes from aligning with these cycles.
Additional Mat Talk
At the end of each session, we’ll have the chance for an optional reflective discussion about the class theme. This is an opportunity to delve deeper into our experiences and insights. You can ask questions in the Chat, or request to join me on screen by clicking 'raise hand'.
