Seasonal Yoga

Seasonal Yoga is founded on the knowledge that we are a part of nature and therefore part of its changes which allows us to adapt our practice to promote health on every level. It assists us to cultivate an awareness of these changing energetic states and then how to use them to complement the season we are in, or to adapt to what is going on in the world around us.

This practice profoundly influences our well being and motivation on every level and forms the essence of personal development and healing.Seasonal Yoga teaches you how to change your class 6 times a year to reflect seasonal changes, and how to work with these energies and qualities to support individual organs and systems, encouraging physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.  To do this it draws upon philosophy teachings of both Yoga and Traditional Chinese medicine and also by working with the seasonal changes, meridian lines and emotions.

Seasonal Yoga practice is done through:

  • Asanas – postures
  • Pranayamas – breathing techniques
  • Mudras – positions or gestures which represent the psyché
  • Bandhas – locks for challenging energy
  • Shatkarmas or Kriyas – cleansing practices

  

All of the above practices purify the body, mind and energy systems to prepare the body for higher practices of meditation and are now scientifically proven as a means of restoring and maintaining physical and mental health.
