A sunset perspective of the place we will practice together.

This time of year brings me an abundance of joyful-sorrow.

The harvest at the farmer's markets is full of both summer's bounty and the tastes of autumn. The changing light is warm during the day and crisp as it sets earlier in the evening. It's pleasant to play outside but you notice signs of change as the leaves turn bright yellow, umber, and red. 

Embrace the sorrowful-joy of this changing season with an outdoor yoga workshop. We will begin with a short discussion of the changing season and what yoga and Ayurveda recommend for nourishment. You will explore movements that help cultivate grounding and steadiness as an antidote to the winds (figurative & real) that sweep through life.

Sliding and gliding movements on the earth will ease you into your body and prepare you for the standing postures that cultivate strength and endurance. As the movements come to a natural completion, you can write or draw what is swirling in your mind and heart. May this time help you settle and embody what you need in this shift of the seasons.
