It’s autumn! Outside, the leaves have fallen and are swirling in circular gusts; inside, I’ve reached for my bed socks; I’m clutching my hot water-bottle and drinking plenty of hot herbal teas to keep my digestive fire stoked. During this season, it’s typical for Vata dosha to become imbalanced.
In Ayurveda, some beneficial suggestions are hot nourishing soups, dals with rice, golden milk before bed, hot oil massages to help creaking joints, mugs of chicken broth, deep relaxing breathing exercises and, of course, yoga. Here are two poses that help pacify excess Vata whilst keeping us warm! It is best to practice a slow vinyasa flow yoga to calm and ground, and in a warm room.
