Fall Connection
Hi Reader,
Here we are in the middle of October and almost the middle of fall. How are you feeling? It's the season of returning inside a bit more, days shortening, viruses spreading, changes in routines, sensing the holiday season approach, and so much more - and all of that is alongside staying informed of (or even taking space from) what is happening in the world around us. I hope you and yours are safe and surrounded by love, and for those who aren't as fortunate, I hope you are feeling held. We all deserve safety and love. For me it's been a season of remembering the importance of boundaries, taking time for myself and time to rest and breathe, savoring our home, returning to baking, and putting on more layers to still get outside for fresh air. What are you being reminded of this season?
If you are looking for a workshop series to help you through this season, read on about my coming offering Breath Basics - Breath & Core, Connect & Restore. This will be a multi-faceted opportunity to learn, connect and restore through in person and virtual sessions. This workshop piggybacks off of my Breath Basics online course, a backbone to Erin McCabe Wellness that introduces and reconnects us to our body’s most repeated pattern in order to create and grow our self care health care.
In this workshop you will learn about how we breathe, why it matters and what you can do to regulate and restore in real time. Through the workshop you will attend a 90’ in person gathering, and receive access to the full, 6 chapter course online and two 45’ virtual office hours, all centered around self and community connection as well as practice and progress accountability. All levels are welcome and no previous experience is necessary. Click this link to put your name at the top of an interest list - you’ll be the first to receive details like dates, times and cost, notification of sign ups as well as future workshop extensions! Or if you're ready, sign up here!
If you aren't ready for a full workshop series, you can sign up for free videos from the on-demand course here which includes 9 short videos (all less than 10’) covering what I consider to be the basics of the basics to acquaint you with your breath, where you might hold tension, and why the breath can be such a powerful tool.
Keep breathing, keep regulating, keep hoping, keep loving,
Erin

Hi Reader, Tomorrow is the fall equinox and I'm definitely feeling the shift as the light and leaves change, though we did get to soak up summer until the last drop with warm sun and warm temps! I hope you are savoring the abundance this season is bringing and are feeling grounded as we get to the equinox and really shift into fall. I loved this post on Instagram from Katherine May the other day and especially love the slide that says: If you would like to join a practice to support this...
Hi Reader, Change is in the air, literally and figuratively. The mornings are more chilly and foggy, if you're an early riser you're also noticing the sunrise happening after 6am these days, schedules are shifting especially if you are intertwined with schools, and you might be craving a return to new routines after summer travel or visitors. Whatever you are going through, the transition from summer towards fall tends to be a prominent shift; no matter how long we have been out of school...
Hi Reader, What a gorgeous spring we have had; the return of leaves and the blossoming of flowers and life paired with bright blue skies has really grounded me this season (and also here's to the coming rain!). I hope you are finding moments of joy and calm, or just general mindfulness, when outside. Taking time to notice the world around you and how you respond to the changing environment is such a key to an embodiment and wellness practice; even just 3 breaths of this kind of connection to...
