Well autumn has well and truly arrived with the sharp chill of the morning and the darker evenings. So many conversations I have had this week upon this subject.
My body has reacted to the sudden change of temperature manifesting as a heavy cold, which I interpret to be a sign of low immunity. So I am staying warm, resting, and eating a fruit based diet. I am also taking Echinacea and Goldenseal herbal supplements.
It is time to reconsider one's yoga, in the light of seasonal change. In my personal practice I am emphasising heating pranayama, using ujjayi breath to heat myself internal and expel toxins. I want to maintain a vigorous practice emphasising the standing poses sequencing using vinyasa to create a dynamice flow.
Equally important I feel is the need to include restorative poses such as supta badha konasana and making sure I get a decent savasana. Thus preventing the body from becoming over-fatigued.
