kelly’s autumn teaching theme

The autumn is a particular transitional season, were excess heat from the summer can linger, and manifest symptoms such as feeling scattered, unfocused, run down, general lack of enthusiasm and a compromised immune system. Yoga and Ayurveda (yoga’s sister science) teaches us the means to expel the excess heat/energy, slow down, and experience balance, peace and equanimity.

Join me in class this autumn, and we’ll focus on:

Postures: Balancing poses

Meditation Contemplation: Equanimity
