The 45: Trees Please
π accessible, balanced, engaging // 45 min. // Nicky
βTrees Pleaseβ invites you to explore many different variations of vαΉkαΉ£Δsana or tree pose. This practice is ideal if you want to improve your single leg balance, and stabilize your lower body strength.
Our ancestors practiced their craft away from civilization in forests and received yoga teachings directly from the ecosystem that they inhabited. There are countless stories of practitioners reaching enlightenment in forest hermitages.
I suggest you pair this practice with some outdoor nature appreciation, perhaps even enjoying this class outside, taking some quiet inspiration from the yogini painted below in this beautiful scene from 1620. (click on the image for source details).
