Seasonal energy realignment classes @ The Yoga Place

Our seasonal energy realignment classes are constructed to realign the bodies internal energy systems with the external energetic environment - a prerequisite for maintaining balance and health.

Eastern energetic medical systems - such as Ayurveda, Tibetan and Chinese medicine - see the physical body as a microcosm of the world. According to their models of human functioning, the body is made up of a number of different energy systems. These energy systems correspond to different external phenomena such as the seasons, times of the day, tastes, colours, sounds, directions, emotions and the like.

Two primary measures of health are balance and adaptability - the capacity to change appropriately to maintain a state of balance. Conversely, disease is a product of imbalance and being stuck in this state of imbalance.

As we move from one season to another our internal energy environments need to adapt to align themselves with the outside environment. The seasonal energy realignment classes are one way to facilitate this change process.

A combination of yoga and diet is even more effective for realigning energy systems than yoga alone. We combine specific yoga to stimulate the desired energy systems we wish to activate and then selectively feed these systems with the appropriate foods and medicines. Shiatsu, acupuncture and moxabustion can also be combined to strengthen the impact. We help people with this process we hold change of season retreats and week long yoga intensives.
