Hatha Yoga Pradipika on the Winds of Change
Autumn is a time when the air element (vayu) is predominant. There is more lightness, dryness and coolness as the “winds of change” blow ever more erratically.
Hatha Yoga Pradipika
These qualities in nature have a tendency to aggravate the air and ether element within our bodies, thus affecting our nervous systems, and how well we digest food.
Autumn is naturally a time of balancing vata and reducing any symptoms of wind, dryness and erratic behavioiur….the vayu should be skilfully inhaled and exhaled and retained.
