The Moon’s phases & the seasonal cycles of each year are inextricably linked.
The Moon takes 29.5 days to go through its phases.
Each month has one full moon.
We think of each year as having four seasons, yet there are 5 distinct Elements in the ancient Chinese system of nature which governs the cycles of ALL life..........
Discover more on these principals though my monthly mini workshops,
where I deliver a flowing lunar yin Yoga practice
& we more deeply experience Chinese 5 Element Theory.
Learning how though diet, movement & meditation we can best support
our minds & bodies through different seasonal challenges.....
