Trees are the lungs of the earth. Trees help our planet breathe. Vrksasana (tree pose) enables our chest and lungs to open more, enabling us to find a deeper fuller breath too.
\nForests around the world are also our planet’s air conditioning system and help keep the planet cool. In Vrksasana try to breathe through the nose to filter and prepare the air before it enters the lungs. Breathe out through the nose to gently cleanse the nasal passage of any dust or debris.
\nPractice makes better.
\nRoot your feet into the ground, prepare your base, trunk and mind for a short practice that will help you breathe more easily.
\nWork to your own capacity and capability.
\nBreathe and enjoy,
\nLove and light,
\nLucy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
