Ah. Today is the first day of Autumn and the air is already cooler! Autumn is considered a season of balance, a time during which you can restore balance to your own life. Here are couple of things to do today:

• Make a list of your inner harvest. An inner harvest refers to all the achievements and experiences that you have had or felt during the past few seasons. This is a way of restoring gratitude in your life, as you realize what you have done and how you have coped with challenges during the past months. Take this opportunity to consolidate your energy and to fine-tune what you've achieved since spring. Be grateful for what you have.
• Contemplate. This is a season when the buzzing activity of summer dies down and the excitement of life outdoors begins to relax into the more evenly paced, more predictable rhythm of fall. Think about the ways you have neglected your inner growth and how this might be remedied. Meditate or do tai-chi. Try to find your balance, in the same way that the world finds its balance on the autumnal equinox.

As for me, I am anticipating the return of our winter visitors and cannot wait to guide you in your yoga practice once again. It is always a pleasure and so much fun to see everyone. Look for me at Val Vista Village on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 to 10AM in the new Activity Center. I'm working on new ideas for workshops and special events so send me an email if you have a special request. What would you like to see me teach? Watch my website and Facebook pages for the latest news.

 In other parts of our country, summer is winding down and the cooler months are beginning to show their color. Soon, warmer clothes will be worn, and activities will move inside. Here is the desert, cooler weather means we get to come out of our summer hibernation and once again enjoy all our favorite outdoor activities. I can't wait to lace up my hiking boots and hit the trail!
 
Cooler weather here in the desert also means our winter visitors are beginning their journey to the southwest once again. I can't wait to see you all! Val Vista Village has once again agreed to allow us to hold our classes on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 to 10AM in the new Activity Center. I'm working on new ideas for workshops and special events so send me an email if you have a special request. What would you like to see me teach?

This summer I spent time developing my web design and maintenance consulting service. I've enjoyed developing new websites and e-newsletters for many very interesting and innovative businesses. I love teaching yoga and it's equally enjoyable to develop creative websites that clients love. Contact me to help you build or redesign your website and/or help you with e-newsletters for your business. Have you ever thought of writing a blog? I can teach you how. Send me an email and let's get started. 
 
Join me in the studio on your mat for yoga, online for web design, or hit the trail with me and let's breathe fresh air and delight our senses with the sights, sounds and fragrance of the desert. Fall is in the air!
