Q: How can the concept of dharma help me stay centred during the busyness of the changing season? What practices—both physical and mental—can I focus on to align with my higher purpose, especially when feeling overwhelmed or distracted?

A – Dharma in yoga refers to living in alignment with your true nature and purpose. When feeling uncentred, cultivating mindfulness and dedicating your actions to a greater cause can bring clarity. Grounding asanas such as Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I) and Tree Pose (Vṛkṣāsana) promote stability.
Prāṇāyāma techniques like Nāḍī Śodhana (alternate nostril breathing) calm the mind, making it easier to attune to your dharma. Journalling your reflections at the start or end of your practice can further deepen this connection.
