I made this at the end of October and it went out in my newsletter.
It is the 7th in an 8 video series I have been making this year. It is a practise for late Autumn.

This series of chair yoga is to support alignment with the seasons as the wheel of the year turns.

Chair yoga can be a lovely way to mindfully connect the body, mind and spirit through gentle movement and breath.

You don't need lots of space, or to get down on the floor; you just need a sturdy chair and a mindful curiosity.

I'll be sending out my 8th and final chair video in this series for my Mid-winter newsletter. You can subscribe here:

This one is for anyone who needs reminding that we can always access our own inner peace, and find comfort in our own hearts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r69LUzy2IQ

We'll release fear in gentle seated twists and forward folds.
We'll open our hearts and find strength in sphinx.
We'll settle our attention inwards in our child's pose to allow space for inner processing and reflection.
We'll find comfort in the experience of connecting with our inner peace; and recalling our power.

Remember, no matter how far you feel from settled or peaceful, part of our consciousness always abides amongst those fellow souls with whom we connect instinctively, in safety, no matter the distance in space or time.

We are held by the rhythms of the seasons, the sun, the moon, the elements and the gifts of our body, mind, spirit and breath.

This one is for you.

May your flame be bright and warm.
Our inner peace is our power.

From my heart, with love,
Sarah X

Autumn Equinox Chair Yoga Video - 15mins

As Summer softens into Autumn, enjoy this gentle seated yoga practise. Bring along bricks/books/blocks… something you can rest your feet on for a lovely seated version of child’s pose at the end.

Support your body as it transitions from the high energy of Summer, towards the shorter days of Autumn, more suited to introspection.
