According to the astronomical calendar Winter officially starts on 21st December in the northern hemisphere but with the darker evenings and events like Halloween and Guy Fawkes Night it can often seem as though we enter winter as soon as the clocks change.
This is the time of year when we can use yoga to help recuperate our energy levels, embracing a slower flow, but it is also essential to keep your muscles warm and stretch a little deeper into each pose helping to combat stress and fatigue.
Simple Asanas such as Downward Dog, Child’s Pose, Pigeon Pose and Warrior II held for just a few minutes can make all the difference and of course, Savasana (Corpse pose) is perfect for peaceful reflection particularly when covered in a warm blanket and perhaps a comfy pillow behind your head.
You can do any of these poses (or all of them) in just a few minutes at home in a warm room, perhaps light a candle or even some fairy lights to add to that cosy, intimate feeling.
Take your time, acknowledge the past and look forward to the Spring.
