Autumn Reset (2024 edition)

Flush your body, renew your energy, create space for the new season…**registrations are open until 11th october for the online program**

Introduction 

Autumn invites us to let what is “dead” in our life fall away – just as leaves fall naturally off trees. Letting go of old habits, beliefs, or energies which no longer bring us joy. As we become aware of Autumn’s gifts, we carve the time to contemplate who we are, what we stand for, and what keeps us waking up in the morning… It’s time for a little Reset. We’ve been doing this regularly for many years and we feel that doing it together, as a group, makes it easier and more fun. You can do this from anywhere in the world, the program has a fully online version as well as the opportunity to meet in person.

The Reset will be a perfect way to release the heat that has been internalized during the Summer and that with the change of weather and working routines won’t find as easily its way out. We will be sharting tools to manage the stress that the body-mind structure has been holding and accumulating for a while . Drawing from the Yoga and Ayurveda traditions, as well as from other energetic practices such as breathwork, we will take some time to slow down, to simplify our diet and to prepare for the challenges that the colder seasons bring to our lives.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, autumn is considered to be the season where the elements of ether and air increase the most, so does Vata Dosha inside of our bodies: this impacts our sleep, our capacity to meet life’s challenges with emotional stability, our digestive strength and our muscular skeletal system. From a Yoga perspective we are reminded that a moderate diet and regular purification practices are also prerequisites for success in yoga.

This Reset invites you to attune to the changes: to create a daily routine which allows you to slow down as an opportunity for silence so that your unique rhythm can be found and embraced. We will create the conditions for reflection about our own lifestyle and eating habits in order for you to create appropriate changes during and after each stage of the Reset, so that we can move into the Autumn season with energy, stability and focus. 

The dates are:

Set Up Meeting: Sunday 6 october 14:00-16:00 (in person at the studio or at home via recording of the live session)

Preparation Phase: Friday 11 october to Tuesday 15 october (at home)

Reset Phase: Wednesday 16 october to Sunday 20 october (at home)

Integration Phase: Monday 21 october to Friday 25 october (at home)

Closing Meeting : Saturday 26 October 14:00-16:00 (in person at the studio - optional)

You can of course plan the 3 Reset phases at a later time: you will still receive all the information you need and you will start whenever you feel the time is right for you. In this case, you might miss the Closing Meeting, but it would still be very useful to join the Set Up Meeting if you can.

WHO IS THIS FOR

This is a mild ‘detox’ program which is broadly suitable for everyone. However you might experience some side effects which come with any detox regime and with a change in dietary habits.

By the way we designed this Reset program, we assume you are a yoga practitioner already (either you have a regular self practice or you join yoga classes on a regular basis – at least 2-3 times a week).

We also assume you are in good health, that you are not pregnant and will be able to enter this Reset in a responsible way. If you have any doubt about your health or condition, please ask your GP for advice and contact us in advance to discuss any issue you might have.

Consider the following questions:

• Is there anything we should know about your physical health? (any diseases, chronic or acute ailments?)
• Is there anything we should know about your mental/emotional health?
• Do you use medication?
• Are you currently treated by a specialist or doctor?

When you have medical issues please check with your GP if it won’t be a problem for you to enter a mild detox. We have the knowledge and experience to lead this Reset program successfully but we are not medical professionals. Your participation is at your own risk and we will be there to support you and advise you for the best of our capacity.
