And before yoga, there was, of course, the earth. Yoga practices evolved, over centuries, as a means to health, emotional well-being, and spiritual enlightenment. Rebecca Wildbear embodies this trajectory. She came to a yoga practice after a life-threatening encounter with cancer in her twenties. It was not an immediate fit, but over years of practice and healing around the world, she devised the unique and user-friendly practice she presents in \u003cem\u003eWild Yoga\u003c\/em\u003e. While sharing her own experience, and that of hundreds of clients, Wildbear shows readers of any or no yoga experience how to: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- meet their bodies and emotions where they are, including grief, trauma, and vulnerability \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- tune in to the natural world around them -- whether backyard, seashore, or mountain -- or an imagined dream place \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Commune with the earth's body through their own body and thus to all the peoples and places around them \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a vibrant and passionate take on melding the solace we find through yoga with the active awareness we know our planet demands and deserves right now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the book: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Nature lives in asana. Tree branches, trunks, and roots inhabit unique shapes in a dance with wind, sun, and soil. Monkeys climb, birds flutter, and dolphins ride waves. . . . When our body directs our movements, they become prayer. We may feel ourselves touching spirit. Our body is a doorway to the sacred.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New World Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608687978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292","brand":"Rebecca Wildbear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42567551582389,"sku":"9781608687978","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_585cd393-08c6-4f25-95eb-8b9da50c23e4.jpg?v=1671551616","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wild-yoga-a-practice-of-initiation-veneration-advocacy-for-the-earth-9781608687978","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
