The winter season in Ayurveda is associated with the dosha – uneven energy pattern – called Kapha, which is composed of the elements Earth and Water and which promotes stability in our body and mind. In order to prevent the typical Kapha imbalance during December through February, such as weight gain or depression, the main intention behind this winter seasonal vinyasa practice is to help raise your core temperature and metabolism and increase circulation with dynamic, invigorating, rhythmic, sequences. This practice with Melina Meza includes sun salutation variations, back bends to open the front of your spine, forward bends to stimulate the backside of your torso, and inversions to promote blood circulation to the brain.

I live in a very small town that is 40 miles away from any yoga
studios, and it is no longer practical for me to attend the classes I
once frequented. MYO has been such a blessing in my life....
I stumbled upon My yoga online somehow through facebook and i'm doing the 25 days of free yoga and there is no going back now. I've always done yoga on my own but this, its amazing. I'm in love...

Lovely practice. This is the second time I've done this one this week. It really gives me a boost and grounds me in my body. Feels delicious after sitting at the piano and in the car all day!
