Restore and More With This Yoga Flow

We are conditioned to experience the end of summer as the bridge to the rest of the year. Usually, we begin to panic—the sweetness of summer has passed, and so begins the frenzy of fall: back to work, back to school and the looming holiday season.

But what if this year, we decided to flip business as usual on its backside and treat this transitional season as an ideal time to relax, restore and reflect on the season and the memories that have passed, and look forward with eagerness to the year yet to come. Nature teaches us that fall is a time to harvest our energy. Taking time to replenish gives us the resilience to move through busier times as they come.

In this gentle practice, explore yoga that enhances your body’s ability to generate and build strong, healthy energy and enhance its circulation. If this sounds like something you need right now, consider this an invitation to create space to melt into these nine poses.
