In this lesson, we introduce how seasons occur and the philosophy of Seasonal Yoga.
Be familiar with how the earth’s axis and its relationship to the sun create seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres, and the philosophy of Seasonal Yoga.
Explain why we experience seasons. Note when the northern and southern hemispheres experience summer and winter and when each experiences the solstices. Discuss how our experience would be different if the earth’s axis were not tilted. Explain the root wood and meaning of the Sanskrit word ritus. Discuss the significance of attuning to seasonal rhythms. Define Seasonal Yoga. Note two different ways that season dates may be delineated.
