Start my FREE 14-day Trial Today Sustainability When we come to relaxation during yoga we often invite the ground to receive us and to absorb any tension, stress and fatigue. Let’s ensure those foundations are continually looked after so our future generations can enjoy her beauty.
So let’s nurture and water the roots of the earth so everyone can have a strong foundation and receive the benefits of a more balanced earth. This gives us an opportunity to find balance and sustainability in a pose. Rooting During standing poses, we speak about the importance of a strong foundation and rooting down into the earth. Let’s give her the same attention and kindness that we are encouraged to show our bodies when we practise yoga. On earth day, let’s take a moment to consider our alignment with earth. We are invited to approach our bodies with attentiveness and compassion.
Our Alignment with Earth In yoga we often explore the importance of aligning of our body in relation to the ground. Let’s notice the impact of our actions and the changes occurring around us, and let’s explore how we might adapt our relationship to her. As we interact with the earth, we can also become more attuned to her. We create an embodied mindful state where we are in continual communication with our body, adapting the practise to how we are feeling in the moment. Tuning in and Adapting Practising yoga is an opportunity to cultivate listening to the subtle states and nuances in our body. Let’s expand this to the earth, so when we connect with her we can also identify what she needs to flourish.
As we establish this profound awareness we might understand more clearly what we need and how we might support ourselves so we can continue to thrive.
