During Autumn as it is starts to cool down, vata (air element) increases in our bodies. If vata is aggravated your skin and hair may feel dry, you may feel bloated, and possibly start to feel anxious or flustered.


To balance this, we need to eat warm, grounding, nourishing, seasonal foods. Think slow cooked root vegetables, warm herbal tea, porridge and warming spices such as cinnamon and ginger. This also means we have to avoid raw, dry, cold food. So leave the raw crunchy salads for summer!

Our yoga asana practice also needs to balance our vata dosha. Our postures will be grounding, relaxed, slow, opening, yet warming postures.

Hope you can come to my autumn yoga weekend! 
Please contact me if you have any questions.
