Seasonality - Winter immune yoga sequence
written by Chiara M. Travisi - illustrated by Svenja Karstens
So, how yoga can help sustain the capacity of our embodiment to produce an adequate immune response against external pathogens? The response is multifaceted and I recommend to approach it with the due level of complexity to avoid misinterpretations. Read the full article to discover more.

Seasonality - Fall de-toxifying yoga sequence
Chiara M. Travisi
The first sequence I am presenting deals with Fall and is focused on ‘de-toxifying’ the embodiment. Detox here means how, through our yoga practice, we can become able of ‘touching’ some internal areas which are particularly related to the physiological functions of ‘digestion' and ‘de-toxification’, but which are usually far away from the possibility of a direct contact. Yog-asanas and prāṇāyāma give us that ‘magic’ to create such a contact.

Seasonality: the climate outside and the climate inside us
Chiara M. Travisi
Transformation, ‘seasonality’, is a fundamental principle to be taken into consideration in personal yoga practice. Every day our embodiment experiences bio-chemical changes in order to adapt to external stimuli, generating an internal response and continuous transformation. In other words, every day we find ourselves dealing with a ‘climate outside’ and with a ‘climate inside’ us. In this series of four sequences I address this fascinating topic by proposing a practice for each climate season: Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.
