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.

This was wonderful. Thank you so much! I felt totally focused and present the entire time which is pretty amazing for me (hyper). I absolutely love this sequence and can't wait to try another.

Great sequence! It made me feel both strong and calm at the same time. The teacher has a really calm voice and explained the postures really well!

I thought this was a great sequence, very smooth and incorporated some moves I haven't done in a while. Thanks.

As a practitioner of seasonal yoga, this class was awful! Her sequences are illogical and choppy (i.e. Uktanasana twists before any uktanasanas). She misses the opportunity to set up stability in the hips, to open and release the kidneys and give them the winter restoration they crave.
