Autumn is the season of briskness. It is less humid--and thus more "airy." This is a when people take on new tasks (classes, schedules, resuming work after summer vacations), so there's a lot of movement and productivity. For those growing things outside, it's the last stretch of harvest and storing.
The nesting urge hits as cooler air revives us from stagnant summer heat. There's a feeling of limited time. Get it done because it will be too cold soon!
To build some heat and help us feel grounded in this active, movement-driven time, our autumn practice will entail moderate holds and repeating poses. We will start practicing back bends again.
Eat warmer foods when the weather leans toward cool. It's soup weather, especially with gardens finishing their yields. Enjoy hot tea with spices (but lay off on those days it goes back to summer heat).
Bring a soft, warm blanket to practice so you can cover up during Savasana (rest).
