October invites us inward—a natural time of transition as autumn deepens and we prepare for the quieter months ahead. This month, I’m offering a special series of Energy Medicine Yoga classes designed to help you ground, protect, and nourish your energy during this pivotal season.

Why Earth Energy Matters Now

As we move through October, we’re in what Traditional Chinese Medicine calls “Indian Summer”—that sweet, liminal space between seasons. This is Earth Element time, when our bodies crave stability, connection, and deep nourishment. The earth within us (our spleen and stomach) works tirelessly to digest not just our food, but our experiences, emotions, and the constant input of modern life.

When our earth energy is balanced, we feel centered, secure, and able to care for ourselves and others without depletion. When it’s out of balance? That’s when we feel scattered, ungrounded, or like we’re giving from an empty cup.

October’s Energy Medicine Yoga Offerings

Week 1 (Oct 1): EMYoga Earth Element (Live or Recording)

We begin by celebrating the Earth Element itself. This practice honors your inner “Mother Earth”—the part of you that nourishes, sustains, and supports. We’ll work specifically with the spleen and stomach meridians, helping your body digest and metabolize more efficiently while keeping all your systems nourished and balanced.

Week 2 (Oct 8): EMYoga Grounding (Pre-recorded)

Feeling distracted? Overwhelmed? Like your mind is a browser with 47 tabs open? This class is your antidote. By consciously connecting to the Earth’s energy, you’ll cultivate that essential sense of safety and security that allows everything else to fall into place. Grounding isn’t just energetic—it’s profoundly physical, supporting your overall health and wellbeing.

Week 3 (Oct 15): EMYoga Protections (Pre-recorded)

Think of this class as your energetic boundary-setting practice. We’ll weave protective Energy Medicine techniques throughout the yoga flow, helping you feel confident, strong, and appropriately shielded from the energy drains of daily life. It’s fun, empowering, and exactly what many of us need right now.

Week 4 (Oct 22): EMYoga Grounded in Love (Pre-recorded)

Here’s a gentle reminder your nervous system desperately needs: you are literally made of love energy, and you’re surrounded by it always. This practice helps you reconnect with that truth, grounding you in the most nourishing energy of all.

Week 5 (Oct 29): EMYoga the Emotions of Earth Element (Live or Recording)

We close the month by addressing something many generous, caring people struggle with: the balance between giving and receiving. Earth energy governs nourishment and connection, but when it’s out of balance, we become the person who gives until there’s nothing left, who can’t say no, who feels taken for granted. This class teaches “right relationship”—the art of caring for yourself as skillfully as you care for others.

Who These Classes Are For

These practices are perfect if you’re:

• Feeling scattered, anxious, or ungrounded
• Struggling with boundaries or caretaker burnout
• Navigating seasonal transitions and need extra support
• Curious about Energy Medicine but want it woven into a familiar yoga practice
• Simply craving more stability and connection in your life
