🌳 Benefits of Tree Pose (Vrksasana)

Strong roots, steady mind 🧘‍♂️✨

Practicing Tree Pose helps you grow from the inside out. Here’s what it offers:

🦵 Builds strength in the ankles, calves, thighs, and core
🎯 Improves balance and proprioception (body awareness)
🧠 Boosts focus and concentration through steady gaze (drishti)
🪷 Calms the nervous system and reduces anxiety
🌬️ Encourages mindful breathing and present-moment awareness
🌀 Opens the hips and improves posture
💛 Cultivates inner steadiness — even when life wobbles

Take a moment today to stand tall, breathe deep, and sway with grace.

Yoga Sūtra 1.10
अभावप्रत्ययालम्बना वृत्तिर्निद्रा ॥१०॥

Transliteration:
abhāva-pratyaya-ālambanā vṛttir nidrā

Word-by-word
abhāva = absence, non-being
pratyaya = cognition, mental content
ālambanā = supported by, resting upon
vṛttiḥ = mental modification
nidrā = sleep

Literal Translation
“Sleep is a mental modification supported by the cognition of absence.”

Meaning
Sleep is not the absence of mind it is a vṛtti whose content is nothingness.
The mind remains active, but its object is the experience of non-awareness.
This is why sleep can be remembered and described later.

Ayurvedic Tips:
Staying warm in the wintertime

Winter has been the coldest we’ve experienced in years and this weekend, we’re expecting several feet of snow. ❄️

In Ayurveda, winter is a time when vata dosha increases bringing cold, dryness, and instability. That’s why it’s so important to stay warm, grounded, and nourished.

Simple things help: bundle up in cozy layers, drink warm herbal teas, and rest by the fire whenever you can.

This season, let warmth become your ritual. ☕🧦🔥"

🕉 The 8 Limbs of Yoga
A Whole Lot More Than Just Poses

Yoga isn’t just about stretching, it’s a complete path of personal transformation, laid out thousands of years ago in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the 8 Limbs:

1️⃣ Yama – Ethical principles (non-violence, truth, non-stealing, moderation, non-attachment)
2️⃣ Niyama – Personal observances (cleanliness, contentment, discipline, self-study, surrender)
3️⃣ Asana – Steady, easeful posture
4️⃣ Pranayama – Breath control
5️⃣ Pratyahara – Withdrawal of the senses
6️⃣ Dharana – Concentration
7️⃣ Dhyana – Meditation
8️⃣ Samadhi – Blissful absorption / union with the Self

✨ Each limb builds on the last, together forming a full-spectrum path toward inner freedom.

Which limb are you working with right now?👇
