In spring, trees begin to grow back their leaves, flowers begin to blossom and bloom, and animals begin to come back from migration or start coming out of hibernation. It is truly beautiful how nature renews itself in the springtime.
In yoga the meaning of spring is similar, you are encouraged to let go of the old to make room for the new and grow, or transform as a person, and you are also encouraged to promote the renewal of yourself.
