The Year of the Fire Horse: Free Online Session

Yoga | Breathwork | Intention-Setting

Let’s flow through the Chinese Year!

The Chinese astrological year is based on a 12-year cycle. Each year is associated with a specific zodiac animal: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, or Pig. In addition to the animal, each year is also assigned to a specific element: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, or Water. Lastly, every year is given a Yin or Yang energy (Yin = passive lunar energy, Yang = active solar energy).

The year 2026 is the year of the Fire Horse and is characterized by a strong Yang energy. This means it will be an especially fiery year! This particular constellation occurs only every 60 years and is perceived as especially eventful.

So let’s see what this Chinese year will bring!

Let’s take a closer look at its individual elements and what they mean:

  • The Horse stands for freedom, speed, action, and breakthrough. It describes a phase in life in which you move forward courageously and without fear of obstacles. There is a strong emphasis on being in motion rather than standing still.
  • Fire represents intensity, urgency, and passion. It is motivating, but also challenging. That is why it is especially important to pay attention to the limits of your body and your energy reserves.

In summary, this means:

  • Take action, but move at your own pace: the horse is not afraid of slowness, it’s only afraid of stillness.
  • Harness the energy and learn to channel it: make time to regenerate (think marathon rather than sprint).

    We will work with the fire element, while also integrating grounding methods so that you won’t be swept away in this fiery year.

    What to expect

    We will flow through a yoga sequence in which we’ll incorporate an A/B test. We will practice a breathing technique also used before missions by the Navy Seals to focus and strengthen concentration. We will test its effects directly in our flow—I don’t want you to simply take my word for it, but for you to experience it yourself!

    At the end of the movement session, we’ll set an intention for the Year of the Fire Horse using the four key questions of the so-called WOOP technique.

    The session is approximately 50 minutes long.
