FABULOUS FRIDAY'S TIP OF THE DAY: How to get the most from your asana practice. PIGEON POSE

I'm very interested in fascia at the moment, and I've been reading about the connection between the temporomandibular joint (in the jaw) and the hip joint! The Deep Frontal Line of fascia runs from your foot through your pelvis and up to your jaw. If this line of fascia tightens and shortens, it can be felt elsewhere along that line! Isn't that amazing?

If you are still finding yourself tense in the hips and legs, try relaxing your jaw! Just bear in mind that you need to do this every time to notice any significant change. This is why I like to smile a lot when I'm doing my yoga!

Do let me know if you try this.

I'm bringing Prithvi Mudra into my practice, as we transition into autumn, helping me find the stability I need in autumn. This mudra balances the earth element, helps to settle the nervous system, reduces lingering heat or fatigue, and prepares the mind for the seasonal shift.

It's easy to do too. Connect the tip of your ring finger to the tip of your thumb on both hands. The other 3 fingers are straight and relaxed, as you rest your hands on your knees, palms facing upper most. Focus on slow, steady breathing as you hold for a few minutes.

Summer is definitely my favourite season, I love the light and the warm, so I always feel a little sad after the August bank holiday as it seems to mark the end of summer.

Time to start focusing on what I like about autumn to ease the transition!

Social media is full of autumn inspiration at the moment, so I thought I would do a list of autumn yoga inspiration that I'm looking forward to.

* Still being able to get outside to do some practice, but I like the nip in the air, whilst being wrapped up all warm. I know lots of you practice outside all year long, but it I'm a wimp ha ha.
* The return of sun sequence! I don't practice sun sequence in summer, it's too heating for me. Slow, mindful rounds make a welcome reappearance in September.
* The return of inversions, again, I don't practice these in summer, but they are perfect for autumn as they keep vata in it's seat.
* Rotated triangle always draws me in autumn.
* Continuing with my extra nourishing mahanaryan oil massages before my shower.
* Cracking open my autumn lesson plans 🙂

Please do share your autumn inspiration too!

TUESDAY TRIVIA
One of the things I love about Bow is when you feel perfectly balanced on your low abdomen, and the gentle rock that happens naturally as you breathe. Don't try to force this, it's not the same!

This balance gives the internal organs a deep, rhythmic massage, and I love the sense of stillness that this gentle motion strangely brings. Do you feel this?

Here we are September 1st!

My favourite thing about September is that feeling that we are turning over a new leaf, as the trees start to let go of their summer leaves and traditionally we go back to school / work after the summer break. The perfect time for reflection, letting go and stepping into the new.

This short verse from Dinah Mulock Craik says so much ...

"Autumn to winter, winter to spring,
Spring into summer, summer into fall -
So rolls the changing year, and so we change;
Motion so swift, we know not that we move."

If you are back to it today, can you take some time out to be still? Your mind and body will thank you. Maybe you can reflect upon what you might want to let go of as we move into autumn.

If you have joined my on-demand yoga group look out for the beautiful visualisation practice, preparing us for the seasonal shift, see link to the group in the comments :)

FABULOUS FRIDAY'S TIP OF THE DAY: How to get the most from your asana practice. Pigeon pose

It can be tricky to get your hips to the floor in Pigeon, so use a blanket. You can also rest the hip of the extended leg on a yoga brick, which will help you to square the hips, and stop the hips from twisting or dropping.

If you are sliding back, you might need the padding between the heel and the groin.

If you are doing the variation with the open leg, place some padding under the outer edge of the front thigh.

Hopefully this will make the posture more comfortable.

We've been thinking about Bow pose recently in our Tuesday Trivia's, and I came across this quote in the Dru Yoga Teacher Training manual when I was searching for some information on Bhakti yoga.

"Words are like arrows - once you have spoken them you can never gather them back. Please take responsibility for how you speak."

Honestly this quote stopped me in my tracks.
