Fall Equinox Ritual: Rebalance Your Routine in 20 Minutes
The Meaning of the Fall Equinox
The fall equinox is one of only two days each year when day and night are perfectly equal—a natural moment of balance before the coziness of autumn sets in. At Radiance Yoga in Pittsfield MA, we love marking this seasonal shift with intentional practices that realign body, mind, and spirit.
💛 Balance is beautiful.
💛 Balance is possible.
💛 Balance can be simple.
Your Guided 20-Minute Fall Equinox Ritual
Step 1 – Focused Breathwork & Centering (3 minutes)
Start with balance in your breath.
Sit tall with feet grounded.
Inhale through your nose for 4, pause for 2, exhale for 6.
Repeat 6–8 rounds.
Silent mantra: Inhale: I am steady. Exhale: I am balanced.
Step 2 – Gentle Flow for Balance (8 minutes)
Balance strength and softness with this short sequence:
Mountain Pose → Forward Fold
Low Lunge ↔ Half Split (flow 3–4 breaths each side)
Warrior II → Reverse Warrior (flow 3-4 times)
Tree Pose (3-4 breaths each side)
👉 Tip: Move slowly and let your breath guide you.
Step 3 – Breath & Stillness (5 minutes)
Lie in Savasana or sit tall.
Hands on heart + belly, breathe in 4, out 6.
Visualize balancing the light of summer with autumn’s grounding energy.
Step 4 – Journaling & Closing Intention (4 minutes)
Reflect + set your fall intention:
Prompts: What do I want to release? Where do I feel out of balance? What do I want to invite in this season?
Choose one word or phrase as your anchor.
Close with hands at heart, repeat your intention silently three times.
