The best yoga practice is a seasonal one. Aligned with nature’s rhythms, moving with the flow of the elements.
I wrote about seasonal yoga for OM Magazine.
It’s a guide to the seasonal qualities and which yogic practices – including asana postures, breathwork and mantras – are most beneficial for each one.
I also couldn’t resist sharing a gentle reminder on the deeper implications of seasonal yoga…
The greatest inspiration for your yoga practice can come from nature. Gurus, or guides, come in many forms, and one of these forms is seasons. In a time of climate change, adopting a seasonal practice is a form of ecological activism – one of the greatest things you can do for your wellbeing, and the planet’s. It is also a form of cultural activism. Yoga’s recent history with cultural appropriation is partially due to the extraction of this knowledge from its cultural context, often for commercial purposes. Reuniting ayurveda and yoga in your personal practice can support the reunification and wholeness of these traditions.
I hope it inspires you to deeper connection + flow.
