 OCTOBER 20th Fall is the perfect time to re-evaluate where we invest our energies. As we move from the hot summer months through the dry, cool fall months and into winter, Ayurveda guides us to find balance within ourselves. The transition from the full, hot summer months to the coziness of fall and the holidays can be one of most fruitful times of the year.
This is a great add-on for yoga students ready to learn the basics of Ayurveda and how to apply them in a fall refresh of their personal routines.

 What brought you to your yoga practice?
To be honest, I started practicing yoga by signing up for a class at school for (what I thought would be) a really easy way to earn college credit. I ended up earning much more than that! What benefits did you notice once you started practicing consistently? Beyond gaining flexibility and strength, consistent yoga practice significantly improved my mental health, which transformed my life and outlook completely. Practicing yoga activated my body awareness and ability to engage with effective mindfulness and genuine contentment. It kindly and frequently reintroduces me to myself and demonstrates that with persistence, I can achieve beyond what I thought I'd ever be capable of mentally and physically. What would you now tell yourself before you started practicing yoga? I would tell myself that the goal of yoga is not perfection in asana, but making the choice every day to pursue earnestness, strength and ease in all facets of life. And I would remind myself, even now, that the secret to maintaining a regular practice is setting achievable goals and generating tons of self-compassion!  Transition into the energy of autumn. Gather your harvest from a full summer of light and activity. Reap the benefits and prepare your body and mind for the slower seasons, with a guided Yoga Nidra (Deep Relaxation), paired with the resonant full-body experience of sound bath.

It's about using posture to understand and transform yourself. - BKS Iyengar This blog post is part of our Yoga Sutras series. Want to start at the beginning? Yoga Sutra 2.46 स्थिरसुखम् आसनम् Sthira sukham āsanam Asana is a steady and comfortable position. You have probably heard one of us say “yoga begins off the mat.” It becomes like a broken record. But truly, the deeper you go into the Yoga Sutras, the more you realize how ridiculous it is that people are obsessed with asanas.
Don’t get me wrong, I love asana. It was my gateway to yoga. But I didn’t stop at asana, I now practice all eight limbs and can tell you for certain that the benefits I got from practicing the other limbs far outweighs the benefits I have received from mere asana (and I have gotten a lot of benefit from practicing yoga asana.) |
