Ground: Connect to the Earth

In our yoga practice, you have probably heard more times than you can count, the word "ground". "Ground your sits bones", "feel grounded". As such, I would like to promote that you garden this summer to get grounded, as a complementary practice along with your yoga practice!

Gardening connects you with the earth, reduces your stress levels, increases your creativity and promotes relaxation. Gardening is therapeutic and connects you to nature. Gardening is spiritual, delighting your senses with color, texture and scents, allowing you to let go. All sense of time slips away.

Begin to feel other rhythms emerge within you. Feel the rhythm of the earth itself. Digging your hands through the soil and handling delicate plants can feed your soul. Gardening is exercise! Gardening is a low-impact activity that improves flexibility through bending and stretching, a perfect companion to your yoga practice!

Check out community gardening plots, your buildings' roof top garden or terrace, join a gardening group or help your parents, friends or neighbours with their garden. It will help you and help them!
