Autumn can bring with it feelings of being unsettled.  The intention behind this week's yoga practice and #meditation is to transform those feelings of being unsettled into contentment. Please see my 'sister' blog- http://flexiladies.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/autumn-transformation-from-unsettled-to.html It’s autumn and with it come the storms.
