A sensorial ritual for the seasonal descent into autumn — guided by the full moon, carried by breath, and softened by steam.
We begin with grounding breathwork and aerial yoga to decompress the spine, expand the ribcage, and open the pathways of the lungs. From here, we enter a traditional Chinese tea steam practice (茶薰瑜伽), where the fragrant warmth of tea rises to meet the senses — flowing through the eyes, ears, skin, and lungs. This steam journey moistens dryness, nourishes lung qi, and awakens the large intestine’s natural rhythm of release.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is the season of the lungs and large intestine — the organs of breath and letting go. It is a time to refine, soften, and gather inward. In 易經, this is the moment of condensation — when the outward expansion of summer gives way to inward clarity. Under the full moon’s illumination, we align body and breath with the cycles of nature, honoring both release and receptivity.
Each ceremony is attuned to the season: the tea for each workshop is chosen based on the organ to focus on supporting during this season, while the movement is designed to prepare those organs for fully receiving the benefits of the selected tea, whether detox or nourishment.
This is both a restorative experience and a gentle educational workshop, sharing the ancient wisdoms of Chinese teas and their place in a holistic practice of seasonal living.
Each workshop will also introduce participants to a different tea to expand your awareness and exposure to the many Chinese teas, their selection and preparation, and usages for different body types.
Every participant will leave feeling renewed and empowered to take the learnings from this practice into a ritual you can continue at home.
