Tree Yoga School · Practice beside a tree
Eastern Redbud · About five minutes
Find the first small sign.
Read once, then give your attention to the tree. Spend a few minutes, or less if that suits you.
Find a comfortable place.
Sit or stand on stable ground in a permitted place, keeping your usual supports. A bench, wheelchair, or accessible path is enough. Keep paths clear and let your breathing stay natural. There is no need to touch the tree.
Arrive in this season
Choose permitted, stable ground and a comfortable seat or stance. Let your breathing remain natural. Notice the season and weather without expecting flowers.
Find a small sign
Choose a bud, leaf edge, pod, branch curve, or changing light. Look closely from where you are; leave flowers and other parts attached.
Give it time
Stay with the detail for a few breaths. Notice one additional feature. If it feels pleasant, allow that; if it does not, simple curiosity is enough.
Welcome a modest beginning
Name something you would like to begin or revisit. Choose a first step small enough for today. Finish by noticing how the detail belongs to the whole tree.
An optional five minutes
You can practice without a timer. Start it when you are ready to turn your attention to the tree.
5:00
Silent by default. Begin whenever you like.
Keep this page open for the closing sound. A locked screen or backgrounded browser may delay it; the time will catch up when you return.
When you are ready
Which small beginning would you like to give a little room?
Reflect quietly, or write a sentence in your own notebook. Let the visit be enough.
