Why a Fall Nervous System Reset?

 

Autumn brings shorter days, cooler winds, and, this year, heightened stress from political and economic uncertainty.

 

For many women, especially after 40, this season can stir up:

  • Restless sleep or racing thoughts at night

  • Overwhelm, anxiety, or irritability

  • A sense of being “scattered” or ungrounded

Ayurveda teaches that fall is the season of Vata dosha, characterized by airy, light, mobile energy that can disrupt both mind and body.

 

The antidote?

 

Breathing practices (pranayama) that steady your nervous system, quiet your mind, and prepare you for deep rest that you will learn in this fall Pranayama series..
