The moment they step into our magical space, they ask for it before they even reach their mats. </span></p><p>This fun game is a great way for them to remember the poses, and I&#8217;m honestly amazed at how much their practice has improved since introducing it.</p><p><span>At first, I had them design their own bingo cards, which was adorable, but I wanted something more durable and sustainable. So I hopped onto Canva and created a full set using the artwork from my chakra yoga affirmation cards.</span></p><p>Just look at how cute these designs are&#8230; </p><p>I cannot wait to show them to the kids on Tuesday. &#128525;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Treasures</span></strong></em> below and behind our navel.</p><h4>The Superpowers: Creative, expressive, and flowing.</h4><blockquote><p><em><span>When this spinning wheel of light is polished and bright, we feel creative, adaptable, and emotionally balanced.</span></em></p><p><em><span>When it becomes cloudy, our inner weather can change, and we may feel blocked, anxious, or overwhelmed. </span></em></p></blockquote><p>Many wonderful practices harmonise this chakra. Today, we&#8217;re going to have fun with the water-based poses in the <em><strong><a href="https://www.ayurvedicyogalifestyle.com/books"><span>Rainbow Warriors sing-along affirmations book</span></a></strong></em>. You can practice this every morning by yourself or with your children.</p><p>It&#8217;s the perfect way to introduce yoga into your daily rhythm and start your day feeling centred, creative, and in the flow.</p><p>You can start from the beginning and repeat the yoga poses we did last week, or keep it short and just do today&#8217;s poses for the sacral chakra to connect to the water.</p><h3>Let&#8217;s Begin our Practice&#8230;</h3><p>You can do this as a call and response or all sing together.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

Rest one hand beside you for support and lengthen your spine tall as you reach the other arm overhead. </span></p><p><span>Slowly sway your arms in soft, flowing movements like ocean waves or a mermaid dancing in the sea. Keep your chest lifted and shoulders relaxed. Imagine your sparkling mermaid tail resting beside the water as you sit peacefully on your special ocean rock. After a few breaths, gently switch your legs to the other side and repeat.</span></p><h4>Variation: <span>Singing Mermaid Pose</span></h4><p>Sitting in Mermaid Pose, invite children to add soft humming sounds like ocean songs while gently swaying side to side. This playful variation encourages creativity, rhythm, and confidence while making the pose feel magical and expressive.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

mindfully.</p><p>When we bring awareness to our posture, lengthening through the spine, relaxing the shoulders, and breathing deeply, our energy naturally resets itself.</p><p>This pose is very grounding and supportive, which settles the nervous system and instantly helps children feel safe, supported, and held.</p><h3>Let&#8217;s Begin our Practice&#8230;</h3><p>Begin in Sukasana, Easy Seat pose.</p><p>Sit up tall and take a few deep breaths to centre yourself.</p><p>You can do this as a call and response or all sing together.</p><blockquote><p><em><span>Hands in prayer by my heart. x

It gently strengthens the legs and core, lengthens the spine, and opens the chest, increasing confidence and self-esteem as we stand tall and centred.</em></p></div><h4>How to Practice</h4><p>Stand tall in mountain pose with your arms by your sides, rolling your shoulders back and down to open your chest. Feel the energy extending through the fingertips. Gently draw your belly in, and keep your chin parallel to the floor. Shift your weight forward and back, then side to side, until you find the centre of balance on both feet.</p><p>Wriggle your toes, spread them wide, and let them settle on the floor. Imagine your feet are like heavy stones sinking into soft mud, and silver roots growing down from them deep into the Earth. Visualise your Earth Star glowing beneath your feet.</p><h4>Variation: Seated Mountain Pose</h4><p>This pose can also be practised seated, sitting tall with the spine long.</p><p>Bring your palms together and reach your arms overhead, creating length through the sides of your body and spine.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Imagine your standing leg is growing deep roots into the earth while your upper body reaches tall like a tree.</p><p>Ask the children what kind of tree they are today. It&#8217;s so much fun engaging with each other in this way. This is a great way to connect the group. Some favourite trees this week have been apple, cherry blossom, oak, and swaying palm tree.</p><h4>Variations: Partner Trees &amp; Tree Circle</h4><p>You can play around with partner trees and circle trees to bring the whole group together. These games are so much fun and always lift the energy of the room!</p><p>Stand together in a circle, palm to palm with your neighbour trees.</p><p>Sing, &#8220;I am grounded like a tree,&#8221; then, as everyone lifts their arms toward the sky, &#8220;standing tall for all to see.&#8221;</p><p>Remind the children how supporting one another helps everyone rise.</p><p>This is my all-time favourite practice for team building and teaching that when we work together, we rise with strength and grace.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

beneath your feet. Spend at least ten minutes walking slowly on the grass, paying attention to your surroundings and the sensations in your body with each mindful step. Afterwards, reflect on how you feel and write about your experience. </p><p>I enjoy journaling after this activity throughout the year to notice how changes in the seasons affect my body, mind, and spirit.</p><p>Is this something you practice often?

It&#8217;s great to be back at The Space sharing my magic with the kiddos!</p><p>They absolutely love doing yoga and learning about Aromatherapy and the healing power of Mother Nature! &#127799;&#127774;&#127807;</p><p>Every afternoon after lunch, we head to the park and sit together in a circle to explore our connection to nature and how each Aroma blend carries its own properties that can shift our energy and emotions.</p><p>Many of the same children return year after year, and it&#8217;s wonderful to hear how much they remember from our time together.</p><p>When they feel tired, they ask for the yellow blend because they know it boosts their energy. If they feel scattered, they choose red to ground themselves, or blue to help them feel calm. Green is their go&#8209;to for healing, and any time someone gets hurt, they immediately seek me out for the blend. &#128154;&#129392;&#127807;</p><p><strong>We all have the power inside us to heal and find our balance again. </strong></p><p>Aromatherapy can help, but we can also do it with our own intention and imagination.</p><p>Over the next seven weeks, we&#8217;re going on a magical journey through the chakras to awaken the healer within and get your creative juices flowing!</p><p>Buckle up, buttercup!

Just as a forest has hidden roots, flowing streams, and sunlight filtering through the trees, the human body has its own energy network. This is </span><em><span>Prana</span></em><span>, the life force that makes us feel alive, bright, and connected.</span></p><p>To help children explore their feelings and inner strength, we use an ancient energy map known as the chakra system.</p><h3>&#127752;<span> </span>Chakras: The Seven Treasures &#127752;</h3><p><span>In our Rainbow Warrior Adventures, we describe the Chakras to children as </span><em><strong><span>Seven Secret Treasures </span></strong></em><span>hidden within their bodies. </span></p><p><span>Each one is like an energy station or a spinning wheel of light. When these treasures are polished and bright, the child feels balanced and happy. When a treasure becomes cloudy, their inner weather might feel stormy or heavy.</span></p><p>As we journey through these magical portals, we will look at the shiny and cloudy aspects of each chakra, and how to polish each energy centre so we feel balanced, healthy, and vibrant.</p><p>Travelling from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, we&#8217;ll journey through the elements, uncovering a new treasure at each stop and helping children (and your inner child) awaken their own <span>superpowers</span>.</p><h3><span>The Seven Superpowers: A Quick Map &#128220;</span></h3><ol><li><p><strong><span>Root</span></strong><span> (Earth): The Superpower of </span><em><span>Safety</span></em><span> &#8212;

two powerful energy centres that sit outside the physical body and shape our connection to both Earth and the cosmos.</p><p>These two portals are:</p><ul><li><p><strong><span>The Earth Star Chakra (The Anchor):</span></strong> This ethereal chakra is located below our feet and is the deepest source of grounding. It links us not only to the Earth, but to the wider field of humanity. </p><p>While the root chakra grounds the physical body, the Earth Star stabilises the whole chakra system. When it&#8217;s balanced, we feel connected to nature, safe in ourselves, and less affected by the negative energy we pick up throughout the day.</p></li></ul><blockquote><p><em>For children who feel scattered or overly fiery, guiding them to &#8220;plug in&#8221; to their Earth Star helps them return to safety, stillness, and steadiness.</em></p></blockquote><ul><li><p><strong><span>The Stellar Gateway (The Connection):</span></strong> Located above the head, the Stellar Gateway is an energy centre with an infinite reach, extending into the farthest parts of the cosmos. This Golden Portal connects us to the stars, the sun, and all of existence, reminding us that we are a small yet essential part of a vast and beautiful Universe. </p></li></ul><blockquote><p><em>For children who feel small, disconnected, or closed&#8209;off, guiding them to connect with their Stellar Gateway helps them lift their energy, open their imagination, and remember their limitless cosmic potential.</em></p></blockquote><ul><li><p><strong>Uniting Heaven &amp; Earth (The Centre):</strong> While the <span>Earth Star</span> grounds us downward, the <span>Stellar Gateway</span> opens upward, connecting us to higher consciousness and cosmic energy. Together, they form the two poles of our energetic system: one anchoring, one expanding. They meet in the centre of the body, awakening <em>Heaven on Earth</em> within our hearts.</p></li></ul><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7XXH!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe9b04dfb-5ee3-4cdb-955f-04e9285a54e9_2000x333.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7XXH!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe9b04dfb-5ee3-4cdb-955f-04e9285a54e9_2000x333.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7XXH!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe9b04dfb-5ee3-4cdb-955f-04e9285a54e9_2000x333.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7XXH!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe9b04dfb-5ee3-4cdb-955f-04e9285a54e9_2000x333.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7XXH!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe9b04dfb-5ee3-4cdb-955f-04e9285a54e9_2000x333.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7XXH!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe9b04dfb-5ee3-4cdb-955f-04e9285a54e9_2000x333.png" width="1456" height="242" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e9b04dfb-5ee3-4cdb-955f-04e9285a54e9_2000x333.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:242,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:413159,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7XXH!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe9b04dfb-5ee3-4cdb-955f-04e9285a54e9_2000x333.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7XXH!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe9b04dfb-5ee3-4cdb-955f-04e9285a54e9_2000x333.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7XXH!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe9b04dfb-5ee3-4cdb-955f-04e9285a54e9_2000x333.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!7XXH!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe9b04dfb-5ee3-4cdb-955f-04e9285a54e9_2000x333.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3><span>Transmission from the Divine</span></h3><p>These words are a prayer, an activation, and an opening.

week, we looked at the <em>Eight Limbs of Yoga</em> as a magical tree.</p><p>The first two limbs, the<em> yamas</em> and <em>niyamas</em>, are our roots, the place where everything else begins to grow. They create a strong foundation for living a <em>healthy, happy,</em> and <em>meaningful life.</em></p><p>To make these ancient teachings relatable and fun for children, we frame the <em><span>yamas</span></em> and <em><span>niyamas</span></em> as <em><strong><span>Secret Codes of the Forest</span></strong></em>.</p><p>Before we step into this enchanting realm, I invite you to pause&#8230;</p><p>Take a moment to connect with your inner child.</p><p>Breathe deeply into your heart and let curiosity guide you.</p><p>Tune into the awe and wonder of everyday life. </p><p>Your <strong><span>third eye</span></strong> holds an intuitive, imaginative way of seeing that opens doors into worlds beyond the ordinary.</p><p>Tap into the extraordinary potential within you, the quiet corners of your mind that remember: <strong><span>you are magic</span></strong>.</p><p><strong>You are nature,</strong> and the elements form the very core of your being.</p><blockquote><p><em>The <strong>sun</strong> warms your skin and fills you with bright, buzzing <span>energy</span>.</em></p><p><em>The <strong>waters </strong>clear what no longer serves you and guide you to <span>flow</span>.</em></p><p><em>The <strong>wind</strong> blows <span>new ideas</span> into your imagination.</em></p><p><em>The<strong> earth</strong> holds you steady, reminding you that you&#8217;re always supported.</em></p></blockquote><p>Feel these magical elements within you, and listen to their subtle messages as they guide you through life.</p><p>All the answers you seek are already within you, waiting to be discovered.</p><h3>Yamas and Niyamas: Secret Codes of the Forest</h3><p>By framing the<em> yamas</em> and <em>niyamas </em>as<em><strong> Secret Codes of the Forest</strong></em>, we introduce a magical element that connects children to the natural world. </p><p>This makes these ten moral seeds feel like a set of superpowers for living in harmony with ourselves and others.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

(Kindness/Non-violence):</span></strong></p><ul><li><p><em><span>The Metaphor:</span></em> <strong><span>The Gentle Deer.</span></strong></p><ul><li><p><span>Moving with soft hooves and a peaceful heart, the deer shows us that true strength can be quiet. Ahimsa is our superpower of care, choosing kindness</span><strong><span> </span></strong><span>in how we speak, act, and treat every living thing.</span></p></li></ul></li></ul><p><strong><span>Satya (Truthfulness):</span></strong></p><ul><li><p><em><span>The Metaphor:</span></em><strong> <span>The Clear Stream.</span></strong></p><ul><li><p><span>When a stream is clear, you can see straight to the bottom. Satya is our superpower of honesty, where our words match what is in our hearts. We choose to be real rather than perfect.</span></p></li></ul></li></ul><p><strong><span>Asteya (Non-stealing):</span></strong></p><ul><li><p><em><span>The Metaphor:</span></em> <strong><span>The Honeybee.</span></strong></p><ul><li><p><span>A bee takes only the nectar it needs and helps the forest grow. Asteya is our superpower of respect, ensuring we do not take what is not ours. This includes taking someone else&#8217;s turn, their time, or their shine.</span></p></li></ul></li></ul><p><strong><span>Brahmacharya (Energy Balance):</span></strong></p><ul><li><p><em><span>The Metaphor:</span></em><strong><span> The Soaring Eagle.</span></strong></p><ul><li><p><span>An eagle does not flap its wings wildly; it catches the breeze and glides gracefully. Our superpower is using our energy smoothly and mindfully, moving with ease instead of rushing or wearing ourselves out.</span></p></li></ul></li></ul><p><strong><span>Aparigraha (Non-greed/Sharing):</span></strong></p><ul><li><p><em><span>The Metaphor:</span></em> <strong><span>The Autumn Tree.</span></strong></p><ul><li><p><span>A tree doesn&#8217;t hold onto its leaves forever; it lets them go so new ones can grow. Aparigraha is our superpower of release &#8212; letting go of things we don&#8217;t need and sharing what we have with the forest and our friends.</span></p></li></ul></li></ul><h3>Why This is Important for Children</h3><p><span>As we explore each </span><em><span>yama</span></em><span>, children begin to understand that these </span><em><strong><span>Secret Codes of the Forest </span></strong></em><span>aren&#8217;t rules to follow &#8212; they&#8217;re ways of being that help them feel safe, connected, and confident in themselves. </span></p><p><span>Think of each yama as a small but powerful root growing beneath their Tree, giving them steadiness as they move through friendships, challenges, and everyday choices.</span></p><p><span>Together, these roots teach young yogis how to live with kindness, honesty, respect, and awareness, qualities that make the whole forest feel harmonious. With these foundations in place, they&#8217;re ready to journey deeper into the Eight Limbs with curiosity and courage.</span></p><p>Not only do the yamas work beautifully in our yoga classes, they also become relevant in daily life. Children quickly discover that these <em><strong>Secret Codes of the Forest </strong></em>are tools they can use anywhere: at home, at school, and in their friendships.</p><ul><li><p><strong><span>Ahimsa in action</span></strong>: choosing kind words with a sibling, calming their body instead of lashing out, or taking a deep breath when they feel frustrated.</p></li><li><p><strong><span>Satya in action</span></strong>: telling the truth even when it&#8217;s hard, expressing feelings honestly, or saying &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221; instead of guessing.</p></li><li><p><strong><span>Asteya in action</span></strong>: respecting others&#8217; belongings, waiting their turn, or not taking more than they need (whether it&#8217;s toys, time, or attention).</p></li><li><p><strong><span>Brahmacharya in action</span></strong>: noticing when their energy feels too big or too small and finding balance, like taking a quiet moment after an exciting game.</p></li><li><p><strong><span>Aparigraha in action</span></strong>: letting go of the need to win every time, releasing jealousy, or practising gratitude for what they already have.</p></li></ul><p>These everyday moments help children realise that the yamas aren&#8217;t abstract ideas; they&#8217;re living skills that make their inner forest feel calmer, kinder, and more connected.</p><p>By teaching children these ancient practices in fun, playful ways, we are setting them up for a brighter future with greater peace and compassion.</p><p>As you reflect on the yamas in your life, I&#8217;d love to know which one stood out for you today. </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://rainbowwarrioradventures.substack.com/p/the-yamas-how-we-treat-the-world/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://rainbowwarrioradventures.substack.com/p/the-yamas-how-we-treat-the-world/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><div class="pullquote"><p>Come explore movement, breath, and imagination in an uplifting environment that inspires creativity, boosts confidence, and encourages self-expression.</p><p>Our <strong>Rainbow Warriors Academy</strong> on Skool is the perfect place for parents and teachers to connect, exchange ideas, discover new resources, and uplift each other with positive energy.</p><p>This<strong> </strong>community space offers weekly yoga videos, mindfulness practices, and fun activities for the whole family!

powerful <em><strong>Blueprints for the New Earth</strong></em>, anchored in heart-centred, ethical, and conscious living. You can read the full series <a href="https://rainbowwarrioradventures.substack.com/p/the-ultimate-journey-beyond-body">here</a>.</p><p>Over the coming weeks, we will explore these ancient teachings in a child&#8209;friendly way, weaving storytelling, magic, and playful practices to help the Eight Limbs come alive for young minds. </p><p>This is not just for the children in your life; they will offer a fresh perspective on yoga philosophy and ancient concepts, translating them into clear, practical guidance.</p><h3><span>What is Yoga?</span></h3><p>Yoga (yuj) means to unite or join. The ancient texts date back over 5,000 years, but what if yoga has been with us since the beginning of time?</p><p>If you watch a baby transition from crawling, you&#8217;ll see them move through various yoga poses as they learn to stand.</p><p>They begin in a tabletop position, then lift their bums to the sky into downdog. Slowly, they walk their hands back or feet forward into a fold, and eventually try to roll up like a rag doll to stand tall in mountain pose!</p><p>The first time I noticed this, I was blown away!</p><p>Yoga isn&#8217;t something we do; it&#8217;s<em><span> who we are at our core.</span></em></p><p>It helps us to remember <em><strong><span>who </span></strong></em>we are and <em><strong><span>why</span></strong></em> we are here.</p><p>This ancient practice integrates <em>body, mind, heart, </em>and<em> spirit, </em>awakening a profound inner knowing within us.</p><p>Yoga opens energetic pathways, frees stagnant energy and self-imposed limitations, and connects us to the infinite power of the cosmos.</p><p>Beyond physical movement, yoga is a profound tool for inner balance, helping us to deal with life&#8217;s challenges with resilience and clarity.</p><p><strong><span>This is the Heart of our Rainbow Warriors Academy:</span></strong><span> </span><em><span>Honouring the wisdom of the past while making it meaningful, accessible, and alive for today&#8217;s children.</span></em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

great wisdom, guides seekers towards liberation and enlightenment with</span> his teachings on mind, body, and self-mastery.</em></p></blockquote><p>In <em><span>The Yoga Sutras</span></em>, he describes how we move from distraction and imbalance toward clarity, harmony, and inner freedom. </p><p><em><span>Patanjali&#8217;s Eight Limbs</span></em> offer guidance for living with awareness and integrity, forming the foundation of a healthy, meaningful life.</p><p>When translated into child&#8209;friendly language, these teachings become tools for emotional regulation, self&#8209;awareness, resilience, and well&#8209;being. They help children understand their energy, their choices, and their inner world in an empowering way.</p><p>By bridging ancient wisdom with modern science, we give children something extraordinary: the ability to know themselves, feel grounded and focused, and keep their natural magic alive as they learn to navigate the world with confidence.</p><p>To make these ancient teachings accessible to children and keep them engaged, we focus on nature-based learning.</p><p>The<em><strong> </strong></em>Growing Tree helps them to relate to the teachings in a fun, playful way.</p><div class="pullquote"><p><span>&#127811;&#127795; </span><strong><span data-color="#38761d" style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29);">The Growing Tree</span></strong><span> &#127795;&#127811;</span></p><p><strong><span>Yamas (The Roots - How we treat the world)</span></strong></p><p><span>How we act in the world with honesty, respect, and responsibility.</span></p><p><strong><span>Niyamas (The Trunk - How we treat ourselves)</span></strong></p><p><span>How we look after ourselves on the inside and outside.</span></p><p><strong><span>Asana (The Branches - How we move)</span></strong></p><p><span>Making shapes with our bodies to feel strong and flexible.</span></p><p><strong><span>Pranayama (The Leaves - How we breathe)</span></strong></p><p><span>Moving our breath like the wind to change our</span><em><span> </span></em><span>inner weather.</span></p><p><strong><span>Pratyahara (The Bark - How we turn inside)</span></strong></p><p><span>Pulling our senses in to feel quiet and safe.</span></p><p><strong><span>Dharana (The Sap - How we focus)</span></strong></p><p><span>Concentrating on just one thing, like a single leaf or the sound of a bell.</span></p><p><strong><span>Dhyana (The Flower - How we meditate)</span></strong></p><p><span>Letting our mind become as still and clear as a mountain lake.</span></p><p><strong><span>Samadhi (The Fruit - How we connect)</span></strong></p><p><span>Feeling at one with everything&#8212;realising we are part of nature, and nature is part of us.</span></p></div><p>So, my friend, there you have it.
