Lucretia Van Dyke

It puts me in old New Orleans and in those old community moments that, you know, don't exist or they exist in a new way.

I like for people to imagine your legs being like old tree trunk roots that root you deep in the ground like the tree.

So when I take a deep breath, I imagine the energy and love from our ancestors or from Mother Nature coming up those large roots into your legs, into your abdomen, belly expanding.

And then as you exhale, sometimes I do a practice of

Shedding the things that no longer serve me, shaking off the day.
