Moon -- Look for the reflection! Stretch out the side body, make room for your breathing

Trees -- behind you, waves before you

When you pretend to be a tree, it helps reduce anxiety, a scattered mind or frenetic energy. It also helps you feel stable in your body, steady in mind and balanced in mood and emotions.

Take a deep breath and stand tall. Press the sole of one foot to the ankle, lower leg, or thigh. Your balancing leg is straight and strong, but don't lock your knee. You can raise your "branches" high to help with balance. Squeeze your tummy muscles if you wobble. Breathe! Try it on the other side. It's helpful to find a focal point if it's difficult to balance.
