Who ran over my body with a truck!

Stay balanced this Autumn!

As the cool winds whip away the summer heat they also threaten to close us down and dry us up! Now is the best time to take care of yourself with a Vata balancing yoga practice. This includes Vata pacifying foods such as warming soups and root vegetables, adding ghee to turmeric or ginger tea and using black seasame oil to nourish your skin and draw toxins out. Consistent moderate exercise keeps the immune system strong.

Great poses to help your body through Autumn

Poses that open and support the chest are great for the immune system such as backbends:

Virabhadrasana I

Urdhva Dhanurasana

Setu bandha

Ustrasana

And the Makko ho (stretches the lung and colon channels which are the 'Autumn' organs) - Prasarita Paddottanasana

Supported backbends are fabulous for times when your nervous system is frazzled.

Gather your strength and your vitality to support you through a good winter.
