Bringing balance into our lives

Published: Sep 25, 2022 by Lucy Tennyson

Now we have passed through the autumn equinox nights are starting to draw in. It’s a time of change, as we move from the summer into autumn and we start to look ahead towards winter. We might start making plans for the year to come.

It can be an unsettling time, and this is reflected in the weather. This week’s practice focussed on balance. Not just in standing balances such as eagle and tree, but sitting and and doing alternate nostril breath, or using muscular effort in boat. 

Our equinox practice was based around the clock face sequence I used last week.

Doing yoga at home in between classes will help you keep mobile for the rest of your life - but it’s often hard to know what to do, or get started. You have to first, establish a routine, by deciding what time of day, and how long.  Say 10 minutes every morning, for example, or 20 minutes three times a week.

I sometimes get asked if a parent can bring a daughter (although seldom a son) along to class, but this summer one of my regular students asked if she could bring her 11 year old granddaughter to one of the sessions in the garden.
