Wellness In Motion: Yoga Update
Autumn is known to be a little ungrounding and finds us craving earthy stability and routine. Overwhelm and worry are reportedly higher in Autumn, which Yoga and Ayurveda view as connected to the lighter, airy qualities of Autumn. Chinese Medicine associates Autumn with the element of metal - representing a period of letting go that which no longer supports us. The organs of Autumn are the lungs and the kidneys, organs associated with the emotions of sadness, grief, and fear and lean towards the tonic of letting go.
To better support you, we adjust our yoga program each season to keep you balanced.
