August is Leo season, linked to the fire element. Setting a theme gives me a starting point to theme the yoga sequences around, so we'll have a more energetic flow in the morning to build up some heat and then a smouldering slow restorative session in the afternoon.
It's also a chance to think about what you want to burn away in life (negative thoughts, actions, ways of life) or build up & fuel, like you'd build a fire. Setting an intention for the day gives it a focus: it's rare we get a chance to connect to ourselves for a whole day away from work/kids/distractions so I'd love for everyone to take something useful back into life.
We'll also have a fire pit that we can sit around for some cacao and a closing chat . Watching fire is something so peaceful and ancestral, I really wanted to include it in the day.
