The focus of October’s yoga and mindfulness practices and resources revolve around the theme of Grounding.

The mindful breath practice Balanced Breath invites students to notice their breathing and seek balance between their inhales and exhales. This practice is an invitation to feel rooted by the natural balance present in the breath. The accompanying yoga practice this week, Mountain Pose, is an opportunity for students to slow down and notice their breath and body while practicing a simple but powerful pose that imitates the qualities of a steadfast mountain.

Just as a tree’s roots provide stability and strength, they also tell a story of a tree’s life and origin. When we are supported to embrace feeling strong and connected to who we are as an individual, we can grow and flourish to reach the heights and magnitude we are meant to.
