As autumn creeps in, nature begins its shift — and so do we. According to Ayurvedic wisdom, we are inextricably linked to the natural world. Whatever happens outside in nature is also happening inside of us, impacting our body, mind, and spirit.
In this episode, we explore how the season of Vata — represented by space and air — influences our energy, emotions, digestion, and overall sense of balance. Fall brings dry winds, cooler temperatures, and shorter days, which can leave us feeling scattered, anxious, restless, or even experiencing sleep disturbances.
But there’s good news: when we understand these seasonal shifts, we can work with them instead of against them. Ayurveda gives us tools to return to balance by bringing in qualities opposite of Vata — stability, warmth, grounding, and nourishment.
🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- How autumn affects your digestion, sleep, mood, and energy levels
- Why you may feel more restless, ungrounded, or anxious in fall
- Simple Ayurvedic practices to restore balance in body and mind
- The importance of warming foods and spices (like soups, stews, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg)
- How routines, grounding yoga, and mindful walks in nature support stability
- Yogic wisdom on autumn as a time of letting go, slowing down, and making space for what’s new
- A guided meditation to balance Vata, calm your nervous system, and invite inner stillness
🍁 Practical Tips for Autumn Balance:
- Eat warm, moist, and grounding meals
- Stick to a regular sleep and meal schedule
- Practice grounding yoga poses or take technology-free walks in nature
- Embrace autumn as a season of release and renewal
Fall doesn’t have to leave you feeling off balance. With Ayurvedic and yogic wisdom, you can align with the season, support your nervous system, and find more ease and clarity as you move into the months ahead.
✨ Tune in now to discover how to bring warmth, grounding, and flow into your autumn season.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
