Year of the Fire Horse 🐴🔥 | Chinese New Year with Dougal Meachem

I'm chatting with Dougal Meachem about Chinese New Year and what the Year of the Fire Horse means for us. Turns out, it's maximum yang energy – think Red Bull meets bungee jumping.

We explore the mythology behind the zodiac animals, explain why the lunar calendar actually makes sense, and discuss how these ancient cycles relate to yin yoga practice. Plus, why making resolutions in January is backwards (spring is when you should plant those seeds).

What we talk about:

How the zodiac animals got their order
Fire Horse energy vs Year of the Snake
Working WITH the seasons instead of against them
Why rest in winter, create in spring
