Happy Fall from YogawithTracie
Welcome Fall!When I was younger, I loved Autumn: the crisp cool breeze on my face and the vibrant maple leaves to jump in! But as I get older that cool breeze feels too crisp against my skin and I often find myself shivering. As the season changes from summer to fall, I take extra special care and effort to seek and find ways to stay warm.
As an acupuncturist and yoga teacher, I try to share my “toolbox” of Chinese medicine principles to help you best prepare for a healthy body and mind for the cold months ahead.

Health Tips
- Breathe! Take time in your practice to breathe in and out through your nose. This will help to release tension when holding asanas (poses) for a long period of time.
- Be Kind…to yourself! When you feel tired – take time to rest and nurture yourself with good whole foods. Life is a journey to enjoy, not a race to complete.
- Motion is lotion: If you are feeling stiff – consider gentle movements to move the qi and blood in your body. Check out my Youtube channel for some yoga movements.
