Theme Commentary

Nearly all postures we practice today carry the name of an animal or element of nature. Think about the fluidity, the instinct, the responsiveness of nature. Trees grow. Cats stretch. Bears lumber. Eagles focus. Allow yourself to move like the natural world—strong as mountains, fluid as rivers, alert as animals, rooted like trees.

Mantras

I celebrate nature and its role in my life.

I am grounded and steady.
