Spring is the time of emergence, expansion, outward expression and new growth. After the winter dormant season the energy of the body wants to spring and grow outwards and draw upon the stored energy of winter. Springtime also awakens our warrior archetype giving us energy and passion to strengthen our spiritual practices, pursue creative projects, and to cleanse our bodies and homes. In Traditional Chinese Medicine spring is the time when the wood element is dominant and the energy in the liver and gallbladder channels becomes the strongest. There is a strong tendency for the energy in these channels to become stagnant and produce feelings of anger, irritation and frustration, but this energy is easily dispersed through fluid whole-body movement. The liver meridian connects with the eyes and doing practices that balance the wood element will not only benefit the our physical vision but also our psychological vision as well to allow us to see our inner and outer selves clearly. Use this 37-step yoga sequence to awaken and balance the energies of spring inside the body.

Summer is the time of fiery energy, excitement, and heartfelt passion and love. Summertime is also said to awaken our inner magician / shaman. This archetype heals our body-mind-spirit, connects us to the otherworld, and cultivates awareness of higher states of consciousness. The magician / shaman also embodies the energy of transformation and change: creating magic and miracles out of the ordinary life stuff around us. In Traditional Chinese Medicine summer is the time when the fire element is dominant and the energy in the heart and small intestine channels becomes the strongest. During warm summer days it is easy for the fire element to move into disharmony creating anxiety, nervousness, heartburn and insomnia. Excess fire energy can be balanced through calming and soothing forward bends, heart opening back bends, and cooling pranayma. Heart opening back bends will also strengthen the heart’s ability to create and express joy, love and compassion. Use this 39-step yoga sequence to awaken and balance the energies of summer and to reach to your highest potential in the warmth of the summer sun.

Winter is a time of deep stillness and inner reflection. We can use winter’s introspective energy to gain clarity and insight for the spring cycle of growth and expansion. Willpower and determination is required to look deep into the darkness of this season to face our deepest fears, our hidden realms, and our unconscious minds. In Traditional Chinese Medicine winter is the time when the water element is dominant and the energy in the kidneys and bladder channels becomes the strongest. If the energy of the kidneys are weak than excess fear may arise or feeling of depression may occur, but if the kidneys are strong than we can access abundant willpower, courage and determination to survive and flourish in this season of darkness. This 41-step pose sequence will tonify and activate the energy of the kidneys to create the strength, wisdom and courage to do the inner work that winter presents.
