As the warmth of summer fades and the crisp air of autumn settles in, nature reminds us to slow down, turn inward, and find steadiness. This season of transition invites us to ground ourselves - physically, mentally, and emotionally—just as the trees release their leaves with ease.

Grounding practices such as yoga, meditation, and intentional breathwork help balance Vata energy, offering stability during this shifting time. By embracing stillness and deep connection, we can soothe anxiety, nourish the nervous system, and move through autumn with warmth and presence.

The connection between the breath and the bowel is important to remember in autumn. As the weather cools you may experience issues with elimination. It is essential that you maintain a balance between a stronger morning practice and a gentle evening yin practice.
