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 (V\u1e5bk\u1e63\u0101sana) promote stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pr\u0101\u1e47\u0101y\u0101ma techniques like N\u0101\u1e0d\u012b \u015aodhana (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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1608\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/yogamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/221.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yogamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/221.jpg 1608w, https:\/\/yogamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/221-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yogamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/221-1024x849.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yogamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/221-768x637.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yogamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/221-1536x1273.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1608px) 100vw, 1608px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: How can the concept of dharma help me stay centred during the busyness of the changing season?
