September: Harvest Month

Harvest is one of the most important events in many cultures around the world. It marks the end of the growing season when it is time to gather crops and celebrate abundance. In the upcoming weeks a lot of festivals will start happening in different regions to celebrate the Harvest.  

Harvest also brings us closer to fall - the season of transformation. As nature and the seasons demonstrate, life is a series of cycles and changes. Through the example of trees that no longer need the leaves as colder weather approaches, the leaves are released. The tree lets go. 

It is important that we also transform and change with the seasons by adapting our mind, body, and practice. Harvest yoga is a season to maintain internal balance and prepare for the upcoming changes in nature as fall approaches.

Just like trees let go and so should we to make room for the new.
