LATE SUMMER - THE FIFTH SEASON

LATE SUMMER - THE FIFTH SEASON 

AUGUST 23

9:00 - 10:30AM

 An Earth element yoga practice to lubricate connective tissue along the abdomen, groin, and thighs and building strength in mind - body for balance, stability, and groundedness. 

In Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) there are five elements, and each are connected to the seasons of the year. TCM recognizes the Late Summer as an independent season with its own unique energy. Moving from the Fire Element into the Earth Element late August and runs through the Fall Equinox. It bridges the gap between the expansive growth and activity of spring/summer (Yang energy) and the more inward and still energies of fall/winter (Yin energy). Late Summer is associated with the element of Earth which relates to the Spleen and Stomach.

Maintaining wellness in Late Summer provides an opportunity to reboot, reflect, and prepare for changes. A time to pause between the cycles of nature to reboot and prepare for the coming season, from the expansive energy of summer to the introspective energy of fall. 

Moving toward fall means that now is the time to reinforce the vitality of Earth Element, stress reduction, nutrition, and grounding practices to strengthen our immune health.

In this class we explore practices for connecting with the earth element to feel more centered, rooted, stable, resilient and balanced. The class will start with meditation and mantra chanting, moving to the ground level for somatics, followed by gentle, grounding yoga asana and pranayama.
