There is a crisp breeze this morning in Tampa and it's starting to feel like fall in Florida. We may not have the same autumn colors here in Florida as they do in Woodstock, Vermont where Roger Mallory took this photo, but he wants to help you welcome in and visualize the beautiful fall season in a way that promotes relaxation and deeper connection with yourself!

Roger is sharing a fall inspired yoga nidra meditation in his weekly Yin & Meditation class this Sunday 10/12 from 9:00-10:15am. You can take this class for $17 or use a Lotus Pond class package. Sign up on our website under classes or through the Mindbody app. www.lotuspondyoga.com
