There is a reason we experience these cycles during this time of year, and there is a call for each of us to tap in and listen to our body’s wisdom and modify our routines or our approaches towards ourselves during this time. There are also holistic approaches that have been passed down from the ancient science of Ayurveda which can create ease and more enjoyment as you redefine what your body is needing and craving during this season.

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.
