And, yes sir. Keeping up the practice, and as the year levers over past the Vernal Equinox a certain sense of inner change shall begin to manifest, in harmony with the season's turn.
And how might this be so? Why might yoga practice change throughout the year?
The dry cynics will fail to be swayed by any discussion, but any ashtangi will know that as the year turns, practice changes. The light and warmer mornings lift flexibility and strength, and increases the wish to engage with the practice, whereas the cold, dark winter months can be a struggle through which practice might be abandoned.
And, as spring arrives, and the Earth begins to manifest that which has lain dormant for the past few months, so too the consistent practitioner will begin to notice changes from deep within her/his system.
This might be an adaptation of breathing patterns and depths, causing deep seated changes to manifest, releasing old issues, and traumas, and similarly the time of physical release might begin to precipitate, as the warmer days bring an increased relaxation to the body in general, through muscular release, and also a sense of emotional well-being can also aid the development of a relaxed body.
The seasons do affect us, both inner and outer... We relax in the sun, and as seasons change our bodies notice, even if we do not.
