We find ourselves shifting into the coldest, darkest yet coziest season of the year; Winter when the land becomes quiet and dormant, animal movements slow, water turns to ice, and plants store energy in their roots. The Water element represents the deepest parts of nature and our bodies.
When Winter arrives, it’s time to reassess how we’re living and make small, simple changes to live in alignment with what this season calls for and find self-care practices best suited to Winter. Our minds, bodies and emotions require different types of nourishment throughout the year.
Winter is the season of recovering and rejuvenating. This is the season for less ‘doing’ and more ‘being’.
If you can make these practices part of your life, you’ll be making a huge impact on your overall wellbeing, and are more likely to navigate the next seasonal cycle with more balance.
Winter is the time to balance our movement and rest, with an emphasis on the rest. Winter’s shorter days and increased darkness encourages us to change how we exercise.
Winter is about building strength. Think of your Winter workout as a short strength-building yoga class, followed by slow stretches and a long Savasana.
Explore how you can balance your mood, energy levels and much more with principles of like increases like, and opposite brings balance in this 6-week Winter series.
