Autumn is well and truly here! I love the colours of this season, the symbolism of Samhain, and of the trees shedding their leaves. I love the reminders to embrace darkness and the shadow side, that to be in balance we have to see and integrate all sides, not just the bright side.

But I find the shorter days, cold, damp, grey, and rain difficult. As so many of us do. When the sky is blue and the sun is shining I’m okay(ish) with the Autumn-Winter period. But when the sun disappears for days at a time it can be a real slog getting through.

Many of us with chronic illness have been dealing with the October Slide too, where symptoms and baseline get worse with the changing weather/ clocks and the increase of seasonal bugs. So solidarity to anyone dealing with that, it’s a lot.

Wishing you all a beautiful Samhain, and a smooth transition into November ✨

You can join me for yoga:

🍂 Monday 2nd November 6pm with @stimcafe at Mindful Therapies NE1

🍂 Slow Flow Yoga weekly on Wednesdays 6:35pm @bodyimagefitness_newcastle in Heaton

Classes are usually themed around the seasons so it can be a lovely way to remember we are a part of the shifting cycles in nature.
