Inspired by the wisdom of the Five Elements in Classical Chinese Medicine, Yoga for the Seasons aligns your practice with nature’s cycles. Each season reflects an element—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—guiding us through transitions of renewal, expansion, balance, release, and rest. This journey invites us to move in harmony with nature, embracing change as a source of strength and wisdom. Each season brings its own rhythm, energy, and lessons, inviting us to move with nature’s cycles of renewal, expansion, release, and rest—embracing transitions as the heart of practice.
Discover movement and meditations that honor unique energies of each season—spring’s renewal, summer’s vitality, autumn’s balance, and winter’s introspection. Embrace the journey and find harmony with nature to deepen practice and nourish body, mind, and spirit all year long.
Through each shift, Yoga for the Seasons helps us move with nature, embracing transitions as a path to balance and self-discovery.
