Gentle Grounding Yoga Sequence
Grounding yoga sequence is a wonderful way to connect with the earth and find stability and balance in your practice. This sequence is especially beneficial if you are feeling scattered or off balance. The poses will help to connect you with the earth, center your energy, and calm your mind.
Begin by standing in Mountain Pose (Tadasana). Ground down through your feet and feel the stability and support of the earth. Bring your attention to your breath and inhale deeply.
On your next exhale, step your left foot back into a Wide-Legged Forward Bend (Prasarita Padottanasana). Keep your spine long and your shoulders relaxed. Stay here for a few breaths, then inhale as you come back to standing.
Step your right foot back into a Triangle Pose (Trikonasana). Reach your left arm up towards the sky and your right arm down towards the ground. Stay here for a few breaths, then switch sides.
Return to standing in Mountain Pose. Inhale deeply and on your next exhale, fold forward into a Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana). Relax your head and neck and stay here for a few breaths.
Inhale as you come back to standing. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Feel the connection between your body and the earth. When you are ready, slowly open your eyes and begin your practice anew.
