“While hiking along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, I was inspired by this location and wanted to contribute to the landscape. In Tree Pose, I can root down anywhere, feel stable, and move with the breeze.”

“Adho Mukha Svanasana is a great pose for realigning the body after trekking. I was on my way to Syangboche Airstrip in Nepal where my husband took off for a skydive over Mount Everest from 30,000 feet.”
