"At its essence, the fall equinox-and autumn at large-are about balance. Day and night meet in length as we are ushered into the last leg of the year in which everyone seems overcome with cravings for all things spiced and attempts at committing to more things than is humanly possible. Through it all, your yoga practice remains as essential as ever. So why not make it a place of refuge?"
"1. Fall is drenched in warm light, so why not add some to your home practice, whether through tiny flames, dimmed lights, or a golden hour flow. 2. If it's not too cold, take your yoga outside to a park or your own backyard. Bundle up at the outset and remove layers as your practice heats up. 3. Fall is the perfect time for a cleanse."
"6. Loosen up (or simply change up) your wardrobe. Try wide-legged yoga pants instead of leggings, or trade your tight tank for a well-worn tee. Comfort is king. 7. Honor the fall equinox with a themed practice, meditation, or celebration. 8. Restorative practices tend to ask that you make yourself entirely comfortable, blankets at all, but fall invites you to bundle up and calm down more than usual during reclined poses, including Savasana, regardless of class style."
Autumn centers on balance as daylight shifts and routines change. Transform yoga into a seasonal refuge by adding warm light, candles, or golden-hour flows. Move practice outdoors when weather allows and layer clothing to warm up gradually. Use fall as an opportunity to cleanse yoga gear, sanitize the mat, and declutter props. Update playlists and establish cozy rituals for getting to and from studio classes. Embrace looser, more comfortable clothing and honor the equinox with themed practices. Prioritize restorative, blanketed, and bolstered poses and extend that comfort to meditation for deeper calm and transition.
