Autumn is the season of renewal, change and new beginnings. As leaves fall and the nights draw in, I particularly feel the shift from the activity and energy of summer. This was a summer that included a solar eclipse among other, less celestial events.

In readiness for the new season, I am looking back at my summer and feel a bit humbled by how much I have done. I feel grateful for the experiences and people who have made Summer 2026 so special.

If you too are feeling the shift to the new season, why not join me for my Autumn Reset. https://bookwhen.com/emharrisyoga/e/ev-s74bs-20261010133000

Well, you could say 'why' about anything and it’s often a case of horses for courses with most things in life. However, as I chat to people about my Yin classes, I realise that lots of people don't know what Yin is or don't get what the benefits are.

When I started practicing with my fave teacher, she offered a Yin class in her schedule. Being honest, I loved her Vinyasa classes so much and I secretly thought ‘can Yin really offer me something?’. I realised I was not being very 'yoga' about it and not heeding to the advice I tell my children, which is 'you can't say you don't like something, unless you have tried it'. So, I tried her class and wow! What a beautiful compliment to a Vinyasa yoga practice but also to a very busy life.

Yin is a cooling and very calming practice, where you might only practice a handful of postures in an hour-long class. The postures are held passively and for much longer, so you get a lovely stretch, but you can pay more attention to the breath and stillness. After my first class, I realised that I felt stretched but in a calm and relaxed way. My mind and body felt reset and I escaped the hecticness of life for a lovely 60 minutes.

I think Yin is very accessible to someone who might be intimidated by a dynamic practice. I like to offer lots of lovely props (bolsters, bricks etc), which makes it a very accessible and supportive practice for anyone to have a go. Knowing all of this, I decided it was something I wanted to offer as a teacher, so I attended a fantastic Yin teacher training with Norman Blair. We had a good deep dive into what Yin can offer for me and my students.

So, now I offer 75-minute class, one Friday a month. Why on a Friday, you might ask. It's a lovely reset from a busy week, it helps you to switch off and kickstart your weekend. If you think that is something you might like, check out my schedule here.

Dantastic is in its twelfth year and each year it just gets better and better. It's only my third year of teaching at the festival but I seriously love it and hope I get the opportunity to do it again.

Dantastic was created by Dan, a good friend of nearly 30 years. He originally did it for his 40th birthday and just kept going. The festival is built on a love of music and friendship, both of which are in abundance. Each year old and new friends gather, which makes this festival so very special.

I am truly honoured to teach at this event, it's lovely to give back to such a lovely event. If you joined me for this year's class, thank you, it was a pleasure to teach you. I hope our paths cross again.

I am grateful to the students who came to class, despite high temperatures. I adapted the sequence, we rested when we needed to and had the fans blowing a gale. There is no taming my huge humidity hair though.

So many cherished spaces are being sold off and rented at prices that only big brands can pay. This absolutely kills the community. Have a look at this effort to save Brixton Market. It's already changed a lot since I first came to London but the community is hanging on.

Private equity developers are trying to buy Brixton Market. Support the local traders' emergency counter-bid to keep it in community hands before the June 22nd deadline. Add your name to the petition:
