Here's what I love about mountains: they don't try to be smaller or quieter or more convenient. They just ARE—rooted deep into earth, reaching toward sky, unapologetic in their presence. That's Mountain Pose. Not about standing "correctly" but standing consciously. When you practice this grounded awareness, you're training your nervous system to feel safe. You're teaching your body it can be both strong and soft. True power comes from being deeply rooted.
