Yoga has numerous mental health benefits, including:
Stress Reduction: Yoga promotes relaxation and mindfulness, which can help reduce stress and anxiety.
Improved Mood: Yoga releases endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects. It can also increase levels of serotonin and dopamine, chemicals associated with happiness and well-being.
Reduced Depression: Studies have shown that yoga can be effective in reducing symptoms of depression. It helps to improve emotional regulation and promote a sense of optimism.
Enhanced Cognitive Function: Yoga can improve memory, focus, and attention. It may also help to protect against age-related cognitive decline.
Increased Self-Awareness: Yoga encourages introspection and self-observation, which can lead to a deeper understanding of one's own thoughts and emotions.
Promotes Resilience: Yoga helps individuals develop coping mechanisms for dealing with stress and adversity. It teaches them to stay grounded and adaptable.
Improves Sleep Quality: Yoga can help to regulate the body's sleep-wake cycle, leading to better sleep quality and reducing insomnia.
Boosts Overall Well-Being: Yoga promotes a holistic approach to health and well-being, addressing both physical and mental aspects. It can foster a sense of inner peace and contentment.
It's important to note that the mental health benefits of yoga may vary depending on the individual, the type of yoga practiced, and the frequency and duration of practice. It's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

At the heart of Ayurveda is the principle that like increases like and opposites balance. The Gunas (a Sanskrit word meaning "quality" or "attribute") are the fundamental qualities of all things in the universe, used to understand substances, emotions, and mind-body patterns. There are two main categories: the Trigunas (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas), which describe mental and emotional states, and the 20 Gunas, which are qualities like heavy/light, hot/cold, or dry/oily that describe the nature of all substances, foods, and experiences. By understanding the dominant gunas in food, herbs, and lifestyle choices, Ayurveda seeks to balance the body's qualities and bring it into harmony.

All Ayurvedic principles and practices are based on the concept of 5 fundamental elements that are the building blocks of nature. Each element has a primary function and associated qualities:

Ether/Space (Akasha):
Properties: Subtle, expansive.
Functions: Governs the space within the body, giving form to things, and is associated with intuition and wisdom.

Air (Vayu):
Properties: Dry, light, cold, rough, mobile.
Functions: Responsible for all forms of movement, including breathing, nerve impulses, and circulation.

Fire (Agni):
Properties: Hot, sharp, intense, light.
Functions: Transforms substances, governs digestion, metabolism, and body temperature.

Water (Jala/Apas):
Properties: Cool, moist, stable.
Functions: Governs all fluids and cohesion in the body, including blood, lymph, and emotions.

Earth (Prithvi):
Properties: Hard, stable, heavy, dense.
Functions: Forms the solid structures of the body, such as bones, tissues, muscles, skin, and hair.

The Ayurveda Experience

"At its root, the Ayurvedic philosophy helps you to:
Naturally synchronise with your truest self
Nurture and nourish your mind, body and spirit equally
Improve your sense of well-being
Enhance health at a cellular level
Harmonize your energy with your environment

Ultimately, Ayurveda focuses on promoting a healthy and satisfying life experience that is free of negative emotions and aspects by supporting a natural balance."

While you might not be able to escape to a desert island in reality, but you can always picture your perfect place of rest in your mind. Spend some time there today.

"Right now, pay close attention to the raw sensations in your body. See if you can pay close enough attention to these sensations that the shape of your body begins to fade. Notice all the sights and sounds around you, and let everything—thoughts, emotions, sensations—be exactly as it is. Let your breath come and go naturally.

Let a smile come to your face, and take the intention to be mindful into the rest of your day."

I have a free 30-day pass to the app Waking Up, developed by Sam Harris. This is the follow-up email from a recent session of the introductory course on mindfulness. I'm finding it a good way to get back to a regular meditation practice. I hope you'll find it helpful too.

Since the first day of autumn was last week, I thought this was a good time to introduce Ayurveda. It's considered yoga's sister science and part of a wellness/healing system.

"Ayurveda places great emphasis on prevention and encourages the maintenance of health through close attention to balance in one’s life, right thinking, diet, lifestyle and the use of herbs. Knowledge of Ayurveda enables one to understand how to create this balance of body, mind and consciousness according to one’s own individual constitution and how to make lifestyle changes to bring about and maintain this balance." - The Ayurvedic Institute

We'll be learning more about Ayurveda over the next month as my classes focus on balancing the increase of fall's cool, dry, and windy weather.

October's dancing air and leaves signal change. At the Yoga Path, we're experimenting with some schedule changes. Adrienne and I will be sharing teaching duties on Tuesday night. Wednesday's 9:30 am class will become All Levels to allow for more flexibility in focus although balance poses will always be included. Now is the perfect time to start a yoga practice with a beginner's class at 9:30 am on Thursday.

You don't have to be in recovery to attend Julia's new class on Saturday at 9:00 am, but the inspiration is to use gentle movement and mindfulness for greater calm. She'll be teaching the basics of meditation and breathwork as ways to regulate the nervous system.

Mary will be conducting a session of Grief Yoga on Saturday afternoon, October 11th from 2-3:30. This event isn't covered by your regular pass or membership since it requires specialized training, but you'll receive a discount for early registration. Mary is certified in Grief Yoga, which was developed by Paul Denniston to help "transform loss into empowerment." Anyone who has lost a loved one will find a safe, supportive environment to "release pain and suffering without expectation or judgment."

For many, fall can awaken memories of things or people no longer with us. The emptying trees may reflect the emptiness felt after loss. Traditions tied to the season, like holidays or changes in routine, can amplify absence — the person who is no longer at the table, the voice no longer in the room.

With that in mind, Mary will teach a session of Grief Yoga on Saturday, Oct. 11 from 2-3:30 pm to give students ways of coping with their feelings. Attendance is limited and the cost is only $16 if you register before Oct. 4th so don't delay. Log onto the website to save your spot.
