As we move deep into autumn, let's talk a bit more about Vata - that dosha that embodies this season 🍂 Vata is all about cold, lightness and movement, ruled by the two elements Ether and Air.
You might have noticed how the weather can feel a little all over the place at the moment - one minute it’s warm and sunny, and the next, there’s a chill in the air and the mornings are getting darker. That’s Vata energy all around us!
For many of us, this shift can lead to feeling a bit ungrounded.
You know that feeling when the wind picks up and suddenly you’re feeling a little scattered? Maybe your routine is getting disrupted as we transition from summer fun to cozy winter activities, or perhaps you’ve noticed your hands and feet feel a bit chillier.
All of this is a normal part of the transition through the seasons, but also a sign that you might need to move your focus to bringing some balance back into your life.
The antidote to a Vata imbalance is to embrace the opposite qualities - warmth, stability and stillness - and for us this week the energy of practice will move towards a state of feeling balanced, grounded and secure 💫
Physically you'll be exploring Skandasana, a side lunge that allows for exploration of different heights, arm positions and use of props to support yourself in this posture 😊
You'll be focusing on lower body flexibility, hip mobility and core strength - all essential ingredients to help you feel more connected and stable. Plus you'll be warming the body up nicely so you can move into the sweet rest of savasana at the end of practice (everyone's favourite asana 🥰) 💕
