Fall is a good time to practice self care that nourishes and warms the body and mind. Grounding practices of yoga and meditation help you keep your balance as Nature around us starts to prepare for winter because our bodies and our minds are also preparing for winter. Just like we balance out our active Yang practice with a calming Yin practice, we need to balance the variability of fall with grounding and nourishing activities to keep us rooted. Fall is the time to let go of the heat and intensity of the summer and embrace the heaviness that is approaching. We can find our balance between summer and winter’s energy by making self care an intentional aspect of our daily routine.

Self-care routines make times of transition less scary. Our yoga and meditation practices equip us to accept change. You might find that you start everyday like we do in our yoga classes with turning inwards and maybe hugging your shoulders. Or you could consider grounding yourself with meditation. 

Dogwood Studios offers Chakra Meditation every Friday at 12:30 pm EST. No experience is needed to join Chakra Meditation. You can even explore the Meditation Practice at your convenience with a video from our Learning Library which offers 3 Chakra Meditations each month. During Chakra Meditation, Sam guides all levels of practitioners to mentally focus on inner body awareness of our spine along the 7 main chakras centers with a goal to cultivate more calm to support the balance between energy and awareness.
