Embracing Fall from the Inside Out

As we settle into the rhythm of fall, it’s time to welcome the season’s quieter gifts—rest, reflection, and nourishment. While last week we talked about honoring resistance, this week is about leaning into what’s here and finding beauty in the slower pace. Here’s some ways to do just that:

Comfort comes from the inside out this time of year. Fill your table with warming foods—think hearty soups, stews, root vegetables, and healthy fats that soothe and sustain you. These grounding meals not only fuel your body but also provide a sense of emotional warmth during the seasonal transition. For inspiration, check out Infatuation’s round up of Best Soups in Seattle HERE!

If the early darkness makes you sleepy, listen to that cue. Fall is nature’s invitation to rest. Try winding down earlier or setting gentle nighttime rituals for yourself and your household—warm tea, a good book, or a moment of stillness before bed. These small shifts help restore balance and create grounding as we move into shorter days.

With less sunlight, vitamin D becomes essential—especially here in the Pacific Northwest. Pair it with magnesium and protein to keep your immune system strong and your energy stable. A little mindful supplementation now can make a big difference in how your body adapts to the months ahead. We’re fans of these NatureWise Vitamin D supplements—just be sure to consult your doctor first before adding any new supplements to your routine!

Cheers,

Movement Snack: Downward Dog

A foundational yoga pose that strengthens and stretches the entire body. Starting on hands and knees, press your palms into the mat, tuck your toes, and lift your hips toward the sky to form an inverted “V.” Keep your spine long, head relaxed, and heels gently reaching toward the floor. This pose energizes the body, lengthens the hamstrings and shoulders, and calms the mind. Follow us for more movement snacks HERE!
