In the stillness and darkness of winter, we tend to slow down, stay inside, reflect and perhaps sleep longer. We may eat heavier foods and indulge in sweets and treats. Ayurveda provides guidelines to maintain balance and stay healthy with each season. Read Tips for a Healthy Winter and Heidi’s Healthy Holiday Tips to learn how you can stay happy and healthy this winter. It is also a time when we tune into the stillness – both around us and within us.

One of the foundational poses of Yoga is Mountain Pose (tadasana). Learn more about this simple and elegant posture in my post, Reach for the Sky in Tadasana!
