Tune into the autumn wisdom of letting go, celebrate your harvest, & grow your autumn yoga practice
The Autumn Equinox is a fruitful time that marks the half-way point between the Summer Solstice and the Winter Solstice. This course invites you to celebrate your harvest and to gather seeds of hope to incubate over the autumn-winter months ready to send up green shoots next spring. You are also encouraged to pause and reflect upon how you feel about moving into the colder, darker phase of the year, and how you will use your seasonal yoga practice to bring light, warmth, and healing into the winter months ahead.

Praise for Jilly's Seasonal Yoga Online Workbooks
Here’s what British Wheel of Yoga teacher, Judy Brenan, had to say about her experience of working with the Summer Solstice & Yoga Online Workbook:
“Having read the brilliant 'Yoga Through the Year' book I was intrigued to try out the Summer Solstice unit of Jilly's online Seasonal Yoga course. What appealed particularly was the self-study aspect - I love learning, always have my nose in a yoga book and was keen to enrich my experience of seasonal yoga. This flexibility means that I can access the course when it suits me and for as much or as little time as I have available - I'll often pause part-way through a unit, make a note of the meditation questions and mull them over for a few days before coming back to the course later. The short, carefully crafted modules will fit into the smallest of windows and there is plenty of new material which is not included in the 'Yoga Through the Year' book.
The layout is visually beautiful and very appealing - the lovely illustrations, colourful photos and short video clips really draw you in. I treated myself to a pretty notebook in which I record nuggets from the course, alongside my own observations, reflections and ideas. I'll often come back to these during the week to remind myself of what I have written or to include the suggestions in my home practice... I have found the course both stimulating and therapeutic and it has enabled me to become my own life coach by using Jilly's wise and gentle prompts. If you have been considering trying the course, I would say don't hesitate! I am sure you will love it as much as I do.”
