Last week, we shifted our clocks forward.

As we move into spring, I've been noticing that my body is slowly transitioning with it. The mornings feel a little slower, yet there's a sense that things are beginning to shift.

In the same way we clear out our spaces, open the windows, and welcome in fresh air, there's a similar process happening internally–a gradual transition within the body and mind, a kind of "spring cleaning" within.

For some, this adjustment takes time.

Sleeping in later, lingering in the comfort of a soft bed, or reaching for heavier, comforting, and sweet foods contribute to a sense of density in the body. This makes it more difficult to uncover the natural lift into spring.

Something to notice and gently bring back into balance.

Physically:

slower mornings, heaviness, low energy to initiate movement

Energetically:

dull or slightly stagnant, with energy building later in the day

Mentally-Emotionally:

foggy, unmotivated, not quite as clear, or seeking stillness and comfort

This isn't a moment that calls for intensity.

It's a gentle shift from heavy to light, from static to steadily mobile.

Initiating small movements to get the body moving by allowing momentum to build naturally.

A steady, breath-led yoga flow may help the body transition into this new rhythm.

Sun Salutations are especially supportive. The sequence of poses builds gentle heat, creates circulation, and reintroduces a sense of flow.

Balancing poses challenges steadiness and focus, helping to clear mental fog while grounding the body.

Start slow.

Let the breath guide the movement.

Allow the practice to build gradually.

Step outside in the morning light, allowing your body to sync its natural rhythm with the day.

Keep meals simple and supportive–start your mornings with warm lemon and honey water. The warmth and sourness helps stimulate and "wake-up" the digestive system.

Maintain a daily routine with a block for movement.

This seasonal shift isn't something to rush.

It's a period of adjustment, one that invites awareness.

Small shifts are what create lasting change.
