The signal of the beginning of the end of summer is the arrival of those “Back to School” commercials. So for me it is “Back to Life School on planet Earth” – notes and lessons to be learned as I manifest my dreams. My company is Yoga Flava® – not just Yoga also the “Flava” of life. I strive to make healing connections with the seasons, a yoga practice and mass media technology. From the healing arts to the media arts.

In the summer you can try combining practices. Start with a seated meditation, followed by a cooling pranayama (breathing), and then a Sun Salutation series without jumping through. Then try supported, restorative backbends such as lying on your back with a rolled up blanket under your shoulder blades. Your inversion could be Viparita Karani (Legs Up the Wall Pose) or Salamba Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand), both of which are more cooling than Salamba Sirsasana (Headstand). As you finish your practice, you can wash your face, hands, and feet with a cool washcloth soaked in lavender water before resting in Savasana.
Nurturing these healing connections by enjoying the remaining revitalizing and restorative summer days. In summer, stick with light, cooling foods in the tradition of traditional Chinese medicine. These foods include fruits like strawberries, apple, pear, and plum; vegetables like summer squash, broccoli, cauliflower, and corn; and spices and seasonings like peppermint and cilantro.

The influence of a season on our health is not only determined by the weather. Fall (even more than spring) is the time of new beginnings (9/23/06) in our social and economic world, and with this comes intense activity. Children go back to school, sports and music lessons; companies launch new initiatives; TV networks launch new seasons; the cultural scene places its demands on us with late nights at the concert or other networking event meetings.

Robin Downes’ Yoga Flava ® has been working to be in sync with the upcoming energy of the Fall to launch new healing connections. Over the Summer Yoga Flava ® continues to build a strong and healing global presence that provides a platform for Partners, Sponsors and Advertisers:
