Tree Yoga School · Practice beside a tree
Red Mulberry · About five minutes
Receive, notice, respond.
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.
Find a considerate view
Sit or stand on stable, permitted ground away from slippery fruit. Keep distance from wildlife and leave fruit and branches untouched.
Notice an offering
Observe shade, a leaf, or a space where birds pause. Let your breathing stay ordinary.
Remember a support
Name something you have received today: time, help, shade, or company. Let appreciation take whatever form feels natural.
Choose a return
Choose one modest act of care for a person or place. Finish by including the surrounding scene in your attention.
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.

When you are ready
What would reciprocity look like in one ordinary action?
Reflect quietly, or write a sentence in your own notebook. Let the visit be enough.
