Synopsis

Focusing on the seasons, "Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer" rekindles our relationship with nature. Every season has its own special quality: the withdrawal of energy in autumn, the silent stillness of winter, the push to emerge and grow in spring and the expansive exuberance of summer. Taking a journey through the cycles of the year, Sandra Sabatini and Silvia Mori open up a dialogue between the body and its surroundings. They invite a calm and easy flow of breath that takes us into a state of quietness and lightness. This book offers a series of simple positions for experiment and play. Reading this book, season after season, and practicing as the days go by, will enchant.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Sandra Sabatini started to study yoga in Florence with Dona Holleman in 1975 and was part of her group of yoga teachers for some years, which met at Bacchereto, where Dona lived and Sandra soon moved. It was a wonderful time of discovery. Some years later she met Vanda Scaravelli and began a journey under her guidance which has not ended. In those years many teachers were seeking a wise and intelligent voice able to instil the fascination of sensing and listening into yoga. Vanda reawakened the intense passion for practice in her pupils that also animated her.

In 1986 Sandra was invited to London by Mary Stewart to show her many pupils the approach Vanda had developed in teaching yoga. 'No ambition and infinite time', she often repeated, to keep the practice utterly simple. Later, in retreats offered by Thich Nhat Hanh, Sandra discovered the walking meditation again which Vanda had practiced all along the road to Fiesole, and brought this into her practice. For more than thirty years Sandra has been teaching in Germany, England, Finland, Israel and most recently in India. She lives in Campiglia in Tuscany, a beautiful medieval village near the sea, where she holds residential courses.

Silvia Mori was born and lived in Florence, Italy. Her path with yoga began at Rishikesh, in India, 30 years ago, then she studied with different teachers and found her resonance with Sandra Sabatini and Mary Stewart. She widened her experience through the practice of Tai Chi Chuan first, and then with Chinese Medicine and its practices. Her studies in Shiatsu started in Italy and put her in touch with body/mind workers from many countries. Throughout her teaching she stressed the importance of auto-massage as a health practice. She taught both shiatsu and yoga, also through seminars in places close to nature to offer the chance to practice yoga fully in touch with the earth and the other elements. She continued to deepen her studies and practice through the retreats of Thich Nhat Hanh and other meditation traditions. Her research carried forward the integration of movement, breath and awareness.

She died in June, 2019.
