This four part practical guide to Chinese Medicine and yoga examines how yogic practices can be applied through Traditional Chinese Medicine principles to restore the body's natural systemic balance. The methodology provides practitioners with techniques for reintegrating physical, mental, and energetic wellness.

Book One: Energetic Anatomy 
Meridians, Chakras and Nadis

Book Two: The Five Elements 
Organs, Emotions and Spirit

Book Three: Practicing in Rhythm: 
Solar, Seasonal and Lunar Cycles

Book Four: Energetic DNA
The 8 Extraordinary Vessels

Book One explores energetic anatomy fundamentals: how meridians, chakras, and nadis function as integrated systems, the seven dimensions kriya practice for balancing energy centers, and spine energetics as the foundation of internal circulation.

Book Two covers the five transformations theory: understanding organ systems, their associated emotions and spiritual aspects, and how elemental imbalances manifest in both physical symptoms and mental-emotional patterns.

Book Three teaches rhythm-based practice: aligning yoga sessions with solar cycles, seasonal transitions, and lunar phases to maximize therapeutic benefits and work with natural energy availability rather than against it.

Book Four addresses constitutional healing through the eight extraordinary vessels: working with inherited patterns, ancestral trauma, and the deeper psycho-emotional aspects that standard meridian work cannot reach.

Over 200 pages with 20+ original diagrams provide a technical look at the energetics of yoga through the lens of Chinese Medicine. Each book builds upon the previous, creating a complete framework for understanding the body as an energetic ecosystem.

Suitable for yoga teachers, yoga enthusiasts, massage therapists, acupuncturists, and dedicated practitioners interested in therapeutic applications of movement and breathwork.
