Wisdom of the Earth, Wisdom of the Body offers an in depth exploration of the intersection of Chinese Medicine and Yoga. This book was rich with information on how to align to the seasons, incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and yoga philosophy.
As someone new to yoga and that has a vague understanding of TCM, I thought this book was incredible. Each chapter is packed with a lot of information about the body and its wisdom pertaining to the seasons. How different organs and energy channels can benefit from this harmonization is the main focus of this book. I will definitely be purchasing this book as it is an incredible guide on how to align with nature for optimal healing. It can be used as a reference guide or as a spiritual text to deepen one's practice to the natural rhythms of life.
Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a free arc via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed are my own.
