Root to Rise
May flowers are popping up everywhere here in Southern California. With this springtime energy abuzz, it’s important to take time to ground our energy so that we can cultivate a strong foundation that supports and sustains our growth.
You've probably heard your Yoga teacher say "Root to rise" which means that in order to radiate our energy outwards, we must first establish a foundation to support this expression.
Grounding our life force energy or Prana as it is known in the Yoga tradition helps us to strengthen a deep connection to the Earth, acknowledge our interdependence with the natural world, and recognize the land as a living entity. On an personal level, grounding practices help us anchor ourselves, release excess energy, and find stability and resilience.
Through a decolonial Yogic lens, these concepts take on added meaning, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all beings and the potential for collective action and transformation. By grounding ourselves in the wider context of community and ecosystem, we strengthen our ability to promote harmony for all.
To support your exploration of these themes, I am excited to offer a free yoga video for you to learn practices to experience for yourself the profound flow of energy that lives within and around you.
Grounding Yoga for Strong Roots
This video will guide you through a practice that incorporates prana, apana vayu, and grounding energy, allowing you to experience the transformative power of these concepts firsthand.
Let me know what you think!
with love and gratitude
