Winter
Foundation and awareness. Begin at the still point, and see what winter teaches about the self.

A Light From Within
Guided Journaling & Emotional Awareness
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.
Three cards from the 52-card deck
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.

Renewal and joy. Let the thaw loosen what has been held too long.
Summer
Energy and focus. Work the body, and let awareness meet its edge.
Fall
Release and harvest. Gather what eight weeks of practice has grown in you.
The deck
A deck you can hold.
Every element of the course lives on one of 52 cards: a pose, a mudra, an affirmation, a haiku and your questions. Draw one each day, play games with friends, or print your own.
The journal
Questions that ask something real
“In what way might contentment differ from happiness in your life? Please explain:”
“If you were able to magically just turn off the pain, how would you see your life being different? Please explain:”
“If I were a tree, I would describe the roots of my existence as...”
The practice
52 poses across eight weeks
Pranayama
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.
