Root to rise: we need stable
foundations to help us fly

In yoga as in life, having a sense of groundedness, stillness and calm, can deeply enhance our ability to be creative, expressive and expansive. Our foundations, enable our expansion and expression. Physically, rock climbers constantly apply “root to rise” principle. Pressing down through our feet, enables us to lift and length through our upper body, creating more tension, balance and power. Our emotions are similar. When we feel grounded, plugged into stillness, or ‘earthed’, this sense of stability can be a potent space from where we find more lift, and safety to express - in our energy, thoughts and ideas.
