Five Element Yin Yoga: Practising & Teaching in Harmony with the Seasons

Nature Does Not Hurry So Neither Should You This book is a full permission slip to stop fighting the truly unique and beautiful being that you are and to align with your own natural rhythm and the continuously changing cycles of the seasons. Because we are connected with nature, as the seasons cycle through their continuous transitions, we too will experience those corresponding changes within our own being. The intention of this book is to align us with our True Nature through Five Element Theory and Yin Yoga. Throughout the teachings and practises in this book you will come home to your True Nature within the greater whole. I hear again and again from my students how at home they feel in nature. The reason they feel most vibrant and alive in nature, is that they are nature. We are all made up of the five elements. Instead of struggling against our reality, we will follow the rhythm of nature within and all around us. In winter we will restore our energy reserves, in the spring that conserved energy will burst forth creating new life, in summer we will expand and connect, in late summer we will gather the fruits of the harvests and in autumn we will let go and reflect on the preciousness of life.
