Hello, ,

"Spring is the season of change—it brings forth a rigorous, spirited energy needed to crack open a seed and bloom it into a budding plant. Spring is the insistent energy of expansion. In Spring we are needing to establish stability, while also encouraging fluidity; to root ourselves while nurturing change." ~Jillian Pransky

This week we will again practice grounding ourselves - in this season of Spring and in this time of rapid-fire shifts.

In yoga, "tree pose is perfect for rooting ourselves, helping us to feel more grounded, solid, secure, and also - ready us to move along with transition, through transition, or through particularly ungrounding times."

~Jillian Pransky

"... we are learning to notice how we “hold on,” how we over effort to keep control when we feel wobbly. When things feel shaky, we shift into survival mode. Our breath grows shallow; our body tenses. 

When we try to hold things in place, we stiffen. And when we are rigid, there is more potential to get hurt if we fall. When we can notice how we hold on - how we separate - we can then learn to pause, reconnect with the ground and allow the breath to flow more freely. This will help us relax with our sways and wobbles rather than resist them."  ~Jillian Pransky
