These gentle movements with breath are designed to release excess heat from the body by increasing the surface area of the parts of our body that naturally sweat: the armpits and thighs.

Purpose: Letting go, surrendering to the process of change.

Theory:

• Ayurveda: Rebalance pitta and release excess heat.

• TCM: Rebalance kidney and urinary bladder and excess fire.

• Biology: Reduce stress to calm the nervous system and support the endocrine system to produce oestrone.

• Psychology: Surrender to the process of change and let go of what no longer serves you.
