Back-to-You September: A 3-Step Reset for Busy Humans (That Actually Sticks)
Ah, September. The air gets a little crisper, the kids head back to school, the beach towels get swapped for cozy sweaters… and you suddenly realize your own routines have been on “summer mode” for a while.
That’s not a bad thing—summer has its own magic—but now it’s time for a gentle shift. This isn’t about overhauling your life or cramming your schedule with more to-dos. It’s about creating a reset that feels good and is realistic enough to actually last past the first week.
At Radiance Yoga in Pittsfield, MA, we’ve created a 3-step “Back-to-You” reset—perfect for busy humans who want a fresh start without the overwhelm.
Whether you join us in-studio, practice with our On-Demand Yoga Library, or flow with us on YouTube, there’s a place for you here.
Step 1: Keep it Simple with 20–30 Minute Routines
Your routine doesn’t have to be an hour long to be effective. In fact, the “short but consistent” approach is more likely to stick.
Whether it’s a morning flow to set the tone for your day, a mid-day reset between meetings, or an evening wind-down, just 20–30 minutes can make a big difference.
✨ Try one of our On-Demand Yoga Classes—perfect for busy mornings or winding down at night. Or explore our Radiance Yoga YouTube channel for free practices that fit into any schedule.
Even short, consistent practices add up to more energy, more ease, and more balance.
Step 2: Pick Your Two “Anchor” Classes
Consistency beats intensity. Instead of trying to fit in as many classes as possible right away, choose two classes each week that become your non-negotiable anchors.
At Radiance, we see students thrive when they let go of the “all or nothing” mindset and focus on what’s doable right now. If you can commit to even two practices a week, you’ll start to feel the shift.
Think of them like bookends—two moments you know will help keep you grounded, no matter how the rest of the week goes. These could be:
Monday Morning Yoga Sculpt or Power Flow to set the week’s tone
Friday Evening Slow Flow + Restore to release tension before the weekend
Or any combination that works with your lifestyle and energy
Once these are in your calendar, treat them like a meeting with your most important client—yourself.
Step 3: Schedule Self-Care Like an Appointment
We all know how fast “I’ll do it later” turns into “I didn’t do it at all.”
The fix? Put your classes, workouts, and self-care practices in your calendar—with reminders. This little act turns intention into commitment.
Bonus tip: keep your mat, water bottle, and favorite comfy layers ready the night before. Small prep steps make it that much easier to show up.
✨ Flexibility is key: Use our On-Demand Library for days when you can’t make it in person. With in-studio, on-demand, and YouTube options, you’ll always have a way to practice.
Your Reset Starts Now
You don’t have to wait for “the right time” (spoiler alert: there isn’t one). You can start this week—with routines that actually fit your life, classes you look forward to, and a commitment to yourself that lasts all season long.
This September, it’s more than just back-to-school. It’s Back to You—with Radiance Yoga as your guide to balance, consistency, and renewed energy.
