Autumnal transition with yoga and ayurveda

This will be a mix of ayurvedic wisdom for autumn and the change of seasons, and grounding as well as soothing nourishing yoga and yoga nidra.

This is a little insight into what I'd love to share with you:
Autumn is a beautiful example of one of Ayurveda’s simplest ideas:
⬆️ like increases like.

🔁 opposites bring balance.

As the weather becomes cooler, drier and more changeable, Ayurveda describes the qualities of Vata becoming more prominent.

Vata is associated with qualities such as:
🍂 light

🍂 dry

🍂 cool

🍂 mobile

🍂 changeable

So rather than trying to push through the season in exactly the same way we did in summer, Ayurveda invites us to consider what might balance those qualities:

More warmth.
More nourishment.
More oil.
More steadiness.
More rest. More grounding.


This doesn’t need to mean a complicated Ayurvedic routine.
It might simply mean a warm meal instead of a cold one, oiling your skin after a shower, slowing down your yoga practice, or giving yourself a little more space between doing and doing and doing.
