Winter
Foundation and awareness. Begin at the still point, and see what winter teaches about the self.
Miguel J. Latronica, E-RYT · Foreword by Mary Farhi, MD, RYT
Find the light within.
The Yoga Workbook & Journal, reimagined as a guided course. An 8-week journey through the four seasons of your practice: one pose, one mudra, one affirmation, and one honest answer at a time.
How to use this course
There's no wrong way in.
The eight weeks are a map, not a path. Start with whatever calls to you: a question, a pose, a mudra, a breath, a chakra. Follow it as far as it goes, then let the next thing find you. Everything is connected, and everything you write maps itself onto your Chart of Emotions.
The method
Eight weeks. Four seasons. A full deck.
The four suits of a card deck map onto the four seasons of your practice, two themed weeks per season. Every week is one spread: the pose, the mudra, the affirmation, the haiku, and your chart of emotions.

The breath comes first
Five breathing practices open and close every class, from the three-part breath that settles you to the bee breath that hums you home. Learn them, then weave them into your own session.
Your first week begins with a single question.
