Much of my home practice changed postpartum. I naturally moved towards gentler asana and slower movement to honour where my body and mind were at. It felt less about pushing and more about listening and softening.

Lately though, I’ve noticed a shift, moving toward a practice with more heat and focus.

So recently I’ve revisited stronger, more extended work in my home practice, beginning with Natarajasana. I love this posture because it builds such a strong foundation for deeper backbends, balancing work and arm balances. It strengthens the legs and core, opens the chest and shoulders, stretches the hip flexors and thighs, and asks for presence and concentration through drishti (focused gaze).

I rarely have time to film practice these days (most of it happens quietly in the dark before everyone wakes up, or squeezed into a focused 20 minute pocket while toddler life unfolds around me 🥲), so here’s a throwback that both demonstrates the posture and reminds me to keep showing up for myself in the ways I can.

A little reminder that life moves in seasons. There are times to soften, rest and hold gently… and there are also times to strengthen, deepen and recommit.

Right now, this feels like the practice I need.

As the body moves through the autumn transition, practice can be adjusted to support both grounding and gentle movement.

Standing postures help build stability, while breath-led sequences support circulation and digestion.

The focus is not on intensity, but on consistency and awareness. Over time, this supports a more steady and balanced rhythm within the body.

This is something we support through our Ayurvedic and yoga consultations.

Book in with us for an ayurvedic consultation or a free 15 minute discover call to talk through which option is best suited to you.
