February is a quiet turning point. The light returns slowly, energy begins to shift, and preparation matters more than pushing forward.

This season’s theme, Tending the Heart, focuses on safe heart openers and supportive backbending postures rooted in alignment, strength, and care. Practices are designed to create steadiness first, allowing openness to arise naturally rather than by force.

In both yoga and gardening, this is a time for tending what’s beneath the surface — building support, making thoughtful choices, and trusting the process as we move toward spring.
