How does your practice feel these days? Are you feeling scatterbrained or exhausted? Struggling to find calm?

You may be in need of a practice to feel grounded. To feel present, to notice your breath. To feel your physical body.

Here are 8 of my favorite yoga poses for getting grounded, plus a mantra to go along with each one. If you're in need of some grounding, try one of these. Stay in the pose for 10 slow, deep breaths and recite the mantra, either aloud or silently to yourself.
