the late summer season
The Late Summer Season is a transitional season - one we often overlook in the West - but in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Late Summer is a season in its own right.
It arrives after the height of yang (summer) and before the inward draw of autumn.
Energetically, it’s connected to the Earth element—stability, nourishment, and center.

2: Centre
In Seasonal Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Late Summer is the time to reconnect to the centre - your energetic middle, known as the Dan Tian, located just below the navel.
In this meditation practise, we’ll be focussing on finding that centre, physically and energetically.

3: Nourish
Let's touch on seasonal nourishment, on how to support yourself from the inside out - we'll talk about seasonal eating, then flow through a gentle movement flow, to help your system soften, your belly settle, and your centre become strong and clear again.

4: Process
Processing is one of the most undervalued parts of the growth cycle.
But in Seasonal Yoga and TCM, Late Summer is the season of assimilation - the Earth phase, where we digest not just nutrients, but everything we’ve experienced.
Let's dive into today's breath and journalling practise, grab a pen and paper for this one.

What you’ll learn
You’re not imagining it - this in-between time is real, and it affects your energy.
Late Summer can leave you feeling scattered, bloated, foggy, or emotionally wobbly. That’s because your system is transitioning - even if you’re not aware of it. When you work with the energy of this season, you find your centre again. This course helps you align your body, breath, and rhythm with the Earth element - so you feel calm, nourished, and supported, inside and out.
You’ve learned the foundations - now it’s time to live it.
Whether you completed the Spring or Summer course (or started with the free Seasonal Yoga Reset), this is the season where we start applying the method in real time. You’ll get practical tools to implement the principles you’ve learned, using focused practices designed specifically for this transitional window. No fluff, no overwhelm - just clear, guided steps to help you feel rooted and ready.
This is how you avoid exhaustion before autumn begins.
Most people hit a wall right before autumn; pushing through summer’s overstimulation and rushing into September stress. This course gives you the space to pause, check in, and restore your energy. The Late Summer Season is your buffer zone, your anchor, your opportunity to reconnect with yourself and feel prepared - mentally, emotionally, and physically - for whatever’s next.
