Description
Autumn is a time of transition and harvest. The changing seasons are key points in the cycle of life in nature and within this cycle ancient cultures perceived a deeper message for humanity. The cycles of growth, harvest, death and rebirth are always present and part of a spiritual cycle that takes place within ourselves as much as in the world around us.

Join Alex for two hours of seasonal yoga practices to welcome in the season of harvest, letting go, making space and giving thanks. Session will include a talk, asana, pranayama and meditation.
