Yoga Poses for Autumn Transition

Autumn can be a busy time, like spring. It is time when we tend to gather energy to restart and continue many of the projects we left off to enjoy summer. Grounding poses are very important, so we stay on track with our intentions and visions.

Include a strong meditation practice in your new autumn routine. Start with 5 minutes in the morning at the same time everyday and build up from there. My main meditation teacher suggests 30 minutes first thing in the morning and 30 minutes before you go to bed. Starting and ending your day connecting with Self and the divine.

Forward bends are great for bringing the awareness inward when we get drawn out in our busyness.

Embryo brings one into oneself, nourishes and restores.

Attend my Gentle and Restorative Yoga Retreat at Inspirit Common on Oct 18th to deepen a nourishing yoga practice. To register visit www.inspiritcommon.com .

Supported Childs Pose is another restorative pose that allows one to rest, restore and receive.

Downward Facing Triple Diamond gives you an opportunity to connect with the earth and receive it’s nourishment and healing.

Order my Gentle and Restorative Audio Podcasts with photos of poses at to support your daily practice. They are easy to download onto your computer or Ipod for your home practice.

I look forward to receiving your comments and stories about your summer and how you are bringing the yoga into your daily life.

May your autumn be productive, easeful and full of love and light.

Namaste. Jai Ma!
