“Seasonal Yoga with Yolande” is a yoga studio and meditation instructor located in North Narrabeen, Australia. Led by Senior Yoga Teacher Yolande Hyde, the studio offers a unique approach to yoga by intertwining the philosophy of the seasons of nature and the cycles of the cosmos.
The practise of Seasonal Yoga aims to reconnect individuals with stability, peace, and trust by aligning them with the natural cycles of the Earth. With its roots in ancient Taoist traditions, Seasonal Yoga rejuvenates and transforms practitioners, helping them find truth and purpose in their lives. By fostering a deep connexion to the natural world, the practise encourages acceptance, peace, and a higher perspective during challenging and changing times.
” Seasonal Yoga with Yolande” offers a variety of classes, courses, and outdoor events in Sydney's Northern Beaches and the NSW South Coast. These offerings can be experienced live-streamed, in-person in the wilds, on-demand, over cosmic portals, and through seasonal non-residential intensives.
Each season is explored through specific yoga asanas, pranayama (breathwork), and teachings grounded in the Five Element Theory. For example, during Spring, practitioners focus on the Element of Wood. This season aligns with the rising Yang energy, the vernal Equinox, and the forces of creation, birth, and renewal. The Wood phase is associated with the Liver and Gall Bladder meridians, which are responsible for our navigation and decision-making.
The practise during this season aims to awaken, unclutter, expand, and enliven individuals. It incorporates twists, lateral movements, and deep breaths to help shed the remnants of winter and embrace the light.
Practitioners of “Seasonal Yoga with Yolande” have found the practise to be transformative and grounding. With a focus on breathwork through guided pranayama, individuals appreciate the importance of maintaining the strength of their lung chambers. The practise brings renewed energy and a sense of connexion with oneself and the world around them.
With “Seasonal Yoga with Yolande,” individuals can expect a unique and immersive yoga experience that goes beyond the physical postures. Yolande's teachings and classes help individuals align with the wisdom of nature, promoting harmony, growth, and transformation in both body and mind.
