There's a lot more to tree than meets the eye.
It's a great parallel for life. Being grounded (the straight leg). Flexibility (bent leg). Changing perspectives and orientations (placement of your arms). Balance (staying upright).
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld

Asana of the Week: Tree
One of the most iconic yoga poses is the tree. It's deceptively simple: one leg straight, one leg at 90 degrees on the other leg, hands up or in prayer.
There's a lot more to tree than meets the eye.
It's a great parallel for life. Being grounded (the straight leg). Flexibility (bent leg). Changing perspectives and orientations (placement of your arms). Balance (staying upright).
