How to work with these practices

If you currently don't have a Menstrual cycle, then tune in to the moons cycle instead, using the time of New Moon as day 1 when referring to the practices.

I recommend starting on the first day of your next period (day 1) or the next New Moon, starting with the Inner Winter practice.

​

​

INNER WINTER
29:50

INNER WINTER

A 30 minute practice for your inner winter time (approx days 27-5 of your cycle) During this time (in the few days before and during our bleed) we are being invited to rest and retreat. It is a time to clear your schedule as much as you can, say no to anything that feels draining, surrender and nurture yourself. This is a time to slow down, ask for help, create a sanctuary for yourself, and indulge in pleasure. Props required: a blanket, a cushion and a bolster if you have one, if not you could use a pillow. I recommend that you set out this practice as a sacred space by finding a location which is warm, quiet and where you will not be disturbed, light a candle or diffuse some essential oil and make this a real treat, perhaps followed by a luxurious bubble bath if you can!
INNER SPRING
34:33

INNER SPRING

A 30 minute practice for your inner spring time (approx days 6-11 of your cycle) After rest rest at menstruation you arrive at your inner spring, cleansed and ready to start a new cycle. During this time there is a bubbling feeling of energy rising, and it can be tempting to get carried away with this energy and end up feeling burnt out, so your challenge is to emerge slowing and tenderly, embracing your vulnerability at this time. During this practice we will be encouraging freedom in movement, exploration and play. Props required: a blanket, block or bolster.
INNER SUMMER
30:17

INNER SUMMER

A 30 minute practice for your inner summer time (approx days 12-19 of your cycle). This season is the time of ovulation and a time of plenitude and ease. We have arrived at a very outward state and you may be feeling very social and confident around this time. You may care less about what others think which can allow for a wonderful time of self expression and creativity. During your inner summer your heart can burst open as you are filled with gratitude and appreciation for others and life itself. During this practice we will be exploring this abundant energy with some expansive, heart opening postures. Props required: A blanket or rolled up towel, block or bolster if you have them.
INNER AUTUMN
35:28

INNER AUTUMN

A 30 minute practice for your inner autumn time (approx days 20-26 of your cycle) premenstruum When we embrace this season we find the powers of insight, saying 'no', truth speaking, and letting go. This can be a challenging season for many as we see the rise of tension, our inner critic showing up and being forced to face our shadow side, but within this tension lies an opportunity for deep healing and resolution. During this practice we will take a deep dive within, exploring the stillness and quiet of yin yoga postures. Take time before this practice to set up your sacred container with candles, incense or essential oils, and get cosy. Props required: a blanket, a cushion, a block and bolster if you have them. You will need a candle for the opening meditation.

A little more about the Seasons

 Like the seasons of the year, through the month of your menstrual cycle you move through an inner winter, spring, summer and autumn and back to winter again.

​

In a classic 28-day cycle:

  • The inner winter is approximately day 27 to day 5

  • The inner spring is approximately day 6 to day 11

  • The inner summer is approximately day 12 to day 19

  • The inner autumn approximately day 20 to day 26

 

The important thing is to get to know and follow your own cycle experience, and discover the season changing moments for yourself. If you don't already, I recommend starting to keep a diary to record how you feel as you move through your cycle, to bring attention to any patterns emerging, I have found this practice invaluable and so eye opening!

I have also put together some journaling prompts you can use as you move through your cycle to offer some space for

inner inquiry and reflection.

​

'As you bring consciousness to and care for each season in turn, you restore the order of the cycle, your inner ecology, and with that create a feeling of greater ease and pleasure, coherence and effectiveness in using your power.'
