Online Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine Selfcare

Our Online Seasonal Yin Yoga and Chinese Medicine self-care programs offer a practical way to explore Yin Yoga through the lens of the Five Elements and seasonal change.

 Each self-paced program is designed to support awareness of how the body, energy, and mind respond throughout the yearly cycle, drawing on principles from Chinese Medicine and Yin Yoga practice.

Each seasonal toolkit provides focused practices and reflections aligned with the qualities of that element, supporting rest, regulation, and adaptability as the seasons shift. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, these programs encourage attunement to rhythm, timing, and individual experience.

Through guided Yin Yoga practices, educational content, and practical self-care tools, participants are invited to cultivate a more responsive relationship with seasonal change. The emphasis is on observation, consistency, and gentle support — allowing self-care to emerge as an ongoing practice rather than a short-term fix.

Take time for introspection guided by the natural cycles of the seasons, using rhythm and repetition to reconnect with steadiness and balance.

Online Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine for Spring

As spring emerges, it is traditionally associated with movement, growth, and a sense of outward momentum. In Chinese Medicine, this season reflects qualities of expansion and flexibility, both physically and energetically.

Spring practice invites attentive listening to the body and a willingness to explore change with sensitivity rather than force. By working with these seasonal qualities, Yin Yoga can support a sense of renewal while maintaining steadiness and awareness, allowing practice to adapt naturally as energy begins to shift.

Online Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine for Summer

As spring transitions into summer, the expansive qualities associated with the Wood element give way to the fuller expression of Yang energy linked with Fire. In Chinese Medicine, summer is traditionally associated with warmth, outward movement, connection, and activity.

Summer practice invites engagement without excess, supporting awareness of the heart centre and the rhythms of energy as they peak. By working with Fire element qualities through stillness and time, practice can encourage clarity, connection, and responsiveness.

OnlineYin Yoga & Chinese Medicine for Late Summer.

As the intensity of Fire begins to soften, practice moves into the stabilising qualities of Late Summer, associated with the Earth element. In Chinese Medicine, this season is understood as a period of integration, supporting balance between the outward energy of spring and summer and the more inward qualities of autumn and winter.

Late Summer practice invites centring and consolidation. It is a time to slow the pace, attend more closely to sensation, and cultivate steadiness through repetition and simplicity. Yin Yoga offers a supportive container for this process, encouraging listening rather than striving.

By working with Earth element qualities through stillness and time, practice can support a sense of grounding and trust in the body’s capacity to respond intelligently, and developing familiarity with internal cues and rhythms as they arise.

Online Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine for Autumn.

As autumn arrives, practice turns toward the qualities traditionally associated with the Metal element. In Chinese Medicine, this season relates to discernment, refinement, and the processes of gathering and letting go. Autumn invites reflection on what is essential and what can be released as energy begins to draw inward.

Autumn practice encourages simplicity and clarity. Through stillness and sustained attention, Yin Yoga offers space to notice patterns of holding — physical, mental, or habitual — and to soften what is no longer supportive. This is less about effortful release and more about allowing space through awareness.

By working with Metal element qualities, practice can support a clearer relationship with boundaries, rhythm, and self-respect. The emphasis is on alignment rather than change, creating conditions for steadiness and coherence as the cycle moves toward winter.

Online Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine for Winter.

Winter is traditionally associated with the Water element in Chinese Medicine, reflecting qualities of inwardness, conservation, and rest. As external activity slows, this season invites practices that support quiet reflection, replenishment, and reduced effort.

Winter practice emphasises yielding rather than doing. Through stillness and time, Yin Yoga offers conditions that can support a settling of the nervous system, allowing attention to turn inward and energy to be conserved. Rather than seeking release or resolution, the focus is on listening and allowing space for restoration.

By working with Water element qualities, practice can encourage steadiness and continuity through periods of reduced activity. Winter invites respect for rhythm and recovery, offering a reminder that rest itself is an essential part of balance within the seasonal cycle.
