Yoga for Autumn: Grounding, Warming & Turning Inward

As the light changes, temperatures drop, and leaves begin to fall, nature makes one thing very clear: we are entering a new season.

And yet, we often expect ourselves to operate exactly the same way all year long.

In this episode of Deepen Your Yoga Practice, Lauren explores autumn through the lens of yoga and its sister science, Ayurveda. Traditionally associated with vata dosha and the qualities of air and space, autumn can feel cool, dry, light, mobile, and changeable—qualities we may notice reflected in our bodies and minds, too.

Rather than completely changing your routine, what if your practice simply responded to the season?

Lauren shares approachable ways to bring more warmth, steadiness, rhythm, and nourishment into your yoga practice and daily life—from slower transitions and grounding postures to restorative practices, warming foods, consistent routines, and simple sensory rituals.

You'll also explore autumn as an invitation to turn inward and consider:

What am I ready to release? What do I want to carry forward into this season?

Lauren also shares an invitation to Vairāgya: Release & Return, an autumn practice at True Love Yoga on October 18 featuring myofascial release, Yin Yoga, breathwork, reflection, and Yoga Nidra.

You don't have to overhaul your life when the seasons change. Maybe you simply become a little warmer, a little slower, a little more grounded—and a little more willing to listen.
