Seasonality: the climate outside and the climate inside us

This work presents four yoga practice sequences inspired by the principle of seasonality, exploring the dynamic relationship between the “climate outside” and the “climate inside” of the human body. Drawing on the yogic concept of pariṇāma—the continuous transformation of prakṛti—the sequences aim to support the body’s capacity for adaptation and physiological balance. Each sequence corresponds to one season (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer) and focuses on a specific aspect of embodied health. The practices are offered as reflective tools to cultivate awareness, self-regulation, and harmony between the individual and the changing environment.
