Hello Late Summer Into September!

“As you grown older you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others” Maya Angelou

Late summer is the perfect time to do legs up the wall, rest, and eat nourishing earthy foods to boost your energy.

The ancient Chinese viewed the world as having five seasons rather than four to correspond with the five elements found in nature: wood, fire, earth, metal and water.

Late summer, being the fifth season,  begins about the third week of August and lasts through to the Fall Equinox and is ruled by the earth element. 

It is a short window of time to help us with the transition from the fire of summer into cool energy of the fall.

It’s nature way of letting us know that it’s time to begin to slow down. Saying goodbye to the powerful yang energy of the summer and flowing toward the introspective energy of the yin energy.

You may have been experiencing or feeling any of the symptoms listed below and wondering why, well, Mother Nature is your answer.

• Fatigue/Exhaustion

• Sluggish/Weak

• Over thinking/Foggy Mind

• Anxious/Lack Clarity

Our Late Summer Yin practices in early September will flow energy along the stomach and spleen meridian lines, and include posture to release excess heat accumulated throughout the Summer.

Don’t miss the Full and new MOON practices,  the Fall Equinox Celebration,  and the Full Moon Flowing Practice at Town Brewery.

All the details are below.
