Autumn has arrived quite suddenly. Falling leaves like a flurry of pencil shavings drop to the ground. We can all feel the effects of these seasonal changes so it’s best to stay mindful of your body and its needs.

A couple of good asana to try are: malasana, for no reason other than it means ‘garland’ and is great for balance! Good for this timely self-assessing, self-control.

The top tips I can give you for this are: imagine you have a small squidgy ball inside your tummy and, as you energise and lean into the pose, squeeze the ball gently and gradually. Never work to harden and remember to breathe…

Good luck and happy Autumn practice!
