Whispers and tugs? how do you know?

How do you know if you can hear the whispers and ancient tugs asking you to bring Nature into your practice(s)?

If you find yourself saying "Yes!" to any of these experiences (either you'd like to have them or have had them) then you are intuitively being drawn to a Nature-based Yoga practice:

• find yourself unrolling your mat on your deck or near a window or a plant

• feel a deep sense of peace when you're with Nature

• ever secretly wanted to be one with a Tree (or mountain or any part of Nature)

• crave Nature time in your day and find it just as fulfilling (even if it is in a slightly different way) than your Yoga practice

• wonder if your love of being near Nature during your practice is a distraction (hint: it’s not, it’s actually a deep tug from within)

• plan to go or want to go a yoga retreat near Nature and you are just as excited about the Nature piece as you are about the Yoga piece

• talked to Nature in any form (said “Good Morning” to Sun, or ask a deer what they are doing)

• find being with Nature to be a meditative experience, whether it's morning bird song, a sunset, or listening to the breeze rustle in the trees

• thought about how great it would be to get some quiet time in a cabin somewhere remote so you can do your practice and just be with Nature

• feeling blessed when you have interactions with Nature (ex: when a bird comes close to you, or you lock eyes with a fox)
