In Yoga, a transition pose is one that creates ease and fluidity from one pose to the next. It allows the body and breath the space and time to move with ease and is helpful in preventing injury, pain, and discomfort.

Autumn comes in late September in the Northern Hemisphere. And with it brings many outward, tangible changes: the change in color of the leaves, the temperatures beginning to fall, plants and crops grow more slowly, daylight dwindles a little more each night, and for some, it brings the beginning of a new school year. The long, spirited days of summer come to a close. And I don’t know about you, but as summer comes to an end, there is a subtle shift that I feel, more subtle changes that occur within that are sometimes difficult to outwardly recognize or pinpoint… but no doubt I still feel them.
