Everything is born from and dissolved into this form. It contains the seed for every other posture. Take a moment here to settle in, find a sort of natural alignment, and notice the residue of whatever came before you stepped on the mat. Notice how there’s a shift happening just from turning inwards, the quality of being feels different than it did before you began the practice. We are setting up a new way of relating to ourselves when we practice, by feeling into and sensing the body rather than looking at it from the outside in. From this perspective we can tap into the somatic wisdom that lives deep in the body.

Modification / Variation:

Separate the feet as much as needed, sit on a chair
