I hope every day of this fall season you are able to absorb how nature is shifting and the beauty that she is sharing with all of us as she does. It is her gift to us. Even if you are driving and simply observe a couple of small trees showering down leaves as if on cue. Or watch one lone leaf quietly float its way through the soft air to the firm ground below. Or enjoy the show of squirrels busy rustling with loudly chewing seeds in the trees, birds lined up to fly through and refresh themselves in a sprinkler on a hot day or bees and butterflies drinking in the last bits of nectar and residual summer warmth in a warm flower. Each season can fill us up with beauty and inspiration for our hearts and our health.
Feeling run down? Already have a cold? It is time to lie down and do nothing for a few moments, soak in the season and what it means to you. What are you telling yourself? What do you want to be telling yourself? Like nature, try shifting your mantra and see what comes of it.Restorative Yoga helps stimulate the Relaxation Response which supports the immune system:

October 18th — This Sunday!
Autumn Dates: November 15th
DONATION-ONLY GENTLE MOVEMENT: If you are unsure of yoga and tai chi and what they mean, you may want to try this Gentle Movement class. This class is exactly what its title says: pay only what you can afford and move gently. Learn to approach the body and yourself in a gentle manner through mindful movement, stretching and breathing and discover the effects that just a little bit of gentle movement can have on you and your body. We all deserve to feel the best we can feel, no matter what age or what ailment.
May we all hold space for ourselves to breathe, to be, to soak in the season, to feel human once more.
Namaste,
Nicole Le Clerc
