The Autumn equinox is the one day when day and night are of equal lengths. It is a day to bring this balance into our bodies, minds and hearts.
In many traditions the equinox is a time of gratitude as we celebrate the harvest. It is a time when we turn inward to self reflect on what no longer serves us. We begin to reset and renew our future aspirations.
Known in some mystical traditions as Mabon, the Fall equinox is a time when the energies of light and dark are held in balance. A yoga practice could begin with Nadi Shodhana or alternate nostril breathing.
Practice yoga poses that facilitate a sense of balance in the body, integrating the right and left side of the body in twists, lunges, hip openers, and child’s pose for example.
Prioritize restorative poses as you celebrate the Earth’s seasonal turn towards rest and regeneration.

Thanks for your insight.
Balance, it’s a practice I can strive towards. I was just introduced, again, to tai chi and , like yoga, I’m beginning to appreciate its helpfulness on many levels.
Wishing you a beautiful day.
