More on grounded yoga poses

Grounded yoga poses keep the body close to the floor — child's pose, low lunge, seated folds, reclined twists, savasana. They are the foundation of a gentle practice and the antidote to a busy day. This gallery curates visuals of low, slow, weighted poses on natural materials: wool rugs, cork mats and soft cushions. Use it for inspiration on building a calmer practice and pair it with our gentle morning yoga routine on the blog.
