Let’s root down together and plant trees!

In honor of Earth Day on April 22nd, I felt it’s a good time to invite more grounding into our lives. Deep roots give us the stability and support to grow tall and fully unfold.

The Earth encompasses so much. But in this session, we will focus on trees. There is something incredibly grounding and calming about walking through a forest, listening to the rustling of leaves in the wind, watching the light filter through the canopy, and breathing in the fresh air.

At the same time, trees are real superheroes. They don’t just stabilize us, but also the climate by absorbing CO₂ through photosynthesis and producing oxygen. They provide a habitat for countless animal and plant species so they are preserving biodiversity. They also cool their surroundings, store water, and help prevent flooding. Their roots protect the soil from erosion and keep it fertile.

In this session, we will root ourselves, find stability, reconnect with nature — and invite in a deep sense of grounding.

We will practice a combination of bodywork and Vinyasa yoga. In Vinyasa yoga, we synchronize our movement with the breath and let the body flow.

Before moving into the more dynamic part, we will first ground ourselves and mobilize the entire body. Then we’ll flow through Sun Salutation C (Surya Namaskar C), before planting a tree (meaning we’ll move into Tree Pose, Vrksasana). After also transforming into a root, we’ll come into our final relaxation. At the end of class, we will set an intention. If you’d like, you can stay afterwards to connect and exchange with the group.

The active part of the session lasts about 30 minutes, and afterwards there is the option to share and connect for about 15 minutes.

The session will be recorded and will be available to you for one month afterwards (until May 22, 2026).
