The Yoga Tree

The Yoga Tree Yoga & Well-Being Hi I'm Emma and this is my seasonal yoga page.

I am based in the beautiful Cotswolds and my aim is to bring the benefits of yoga to all those who can, all who wish they could, and all that just want to give it a go.

In Seasonal Yoga, we work with the energy of the season - and with the energy in and of ourselves 💥

Early Summer, the season we find ourselves in, is a beautiful moment to pay attention to your energy levels. In Chinese medicine, your energy is your Chi (or Qi), and whilst the summer is about building energy, you might find your own in short supply 🪫

If your Chi is depleted, you won’t be able to fully arrive into the abundance of summer.

So, let’s tend to our gardens shall we? 👒🐞🌺

Come back on Thursday - I’ll give you 5 ways to nourish yourself and your Chi

Early summer is all about energy rising and a feeling of spaciousness, but it can be easy to get carried away in all the excitement 🌎

If you’re apt to overthinking/stress/being slightly chaotic (maybe just me?) then grounding is a practice to bed into whatever the season. Only when we’re truly grounded can we make the most of Early Summer’s vibes.

Seasonal yoga is all about slowing down and reconnecting with the rhythm of nature. In Early Summer, that means rooting down before we expand outward 🌅

Save this for the next time you need to reset. Your nervous system will thank you. 🙏

It’s time to connect 🖇️

With your body
With your emotions
With your loved ones
With the world around you

At the heart of all the most meaningful connections, is truly being yourself. I can’t connect with you the way I want to, if you aren’t being fully you 🫂

It’s scary, I get it, everyone longs to be really seen and understood, but it’s the most terrifying thing.

You’re enough, just as you are. You deserve the deep connection we all long for. So start with yourself. Make the time, sit, chat, drink tea, dance with yourself. You might find out you’re pretty cool 😘

A metaphor for Early Summer 👆🏼

You know that feeling when you’re throwing a party, and you’re in that moment of anticipation? That’s the feeling I get before every yoga class I teach - nervous, excited, curious 🤠

For me, that’s the feeling of Early Summer. Energy is building, where are we going to channel it? We are in a moment of potential 🚀

In our yoga practice, Early Summer invites us to open the fabric of the body, the fascia

It’s a living web of connective tissue that separates and connects everything within us, and through mindful movement we can begin to unravel tension, create space, and generate warmth from the inside out 🌞

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, imagine a great big web 🕸️ underneath your skin that looks a bit like this 👆🏼

For your asana, in Early Summer we want gentle and expansive movements: stretching, lengthening, and flowing energy outwards before drawing it gently back in again. Think wide open arms, heart-opening postures, and travelling across the mat, off the mat, away from the mat

This is a good moment to remind yourself in this season of the space that connects us that yoga is more than asana, it is in and of everything.

Everything is always connected 🫂

In Early Summer, the narrative shifts from Spring’s shoots and new beginnings to expansion 🌠

The natural world is flourishing, why don’t we join it?

At every opportunity ask yourself: Does this feel expansive? Does this create more spaciousness? If the answer is yes, follow that thread 🧵

I’ll be sharing more Seasonal Yoga asana, lifestyle and meditation tips as well as more juice from the YTT, let me know in the comments if there’s anything specific you want me to cover

Welcome to Early Summer

From today, til midsummer on 20th June, we’re in the early days.

In Seasonal Yoga we mark this transition, this inhale before the fiery exhale of high summer ❤️‍🔥

For the next month, we honour the element of space. Separate to air, space is the connector, it is what comes between and joins everything. Let’s try and create some space in the body and in the mind 🧘‍♀️

Let’s consider how we are connected to the world around us, all that separates me and you is the skin and space between us. Perhaps we are all closer to one another than we think 🫂

We’re in the warm up.

In Seasonal Yoga, the seasons change tomorrow. We move from Spring to Early Summer, from the element of Wood, to the element of space 🌌

This is the warm up for the high energy of true midsummer, we are preparing for the coming full potential of the season. Nature combines the growth of Spring with the expansion of Early Summer to reach its ripe fullness come August and September.

Can you feel the energy rising? How can you work with nature and collaborate with her vitality? 🌈
