Thank you for joining us for episode 405 of Live Happy Now. Today, we're going to take a walk on the wild side.

I'm your host, Paula Phelps, and this week I'm sitting down with Rebecca Wild Bear to talk about connecting with nature through a program she developed called Wild Yoga.

We know that being in nature is good for us, but Rebecca takes it to the next level and shows us how we can deepen our connection

with the earth to better understand ourselves. Her new book, Wild Yoga, a practice of initiation,

veneration, and advocacy for the earth, takes a deeper dive into how we can connect with the earth and what it will do for us.

Let's have a listen.

Rebecca, thank you so much for join me on Live Happy Now.

Thank you.

Thanks for inviting me.

This is a perfect time to talk to you.

People don't know.

We're recording this on the book launch day.

So that's kind of exciting.

It gives a great feel.

And this overall is really fascinating because, you know, I'm familiar with a lot of types of yoga.

This was the first time I had heard of wild yoga and discovered this is something you developed.

So let's start back at the beginning. Can you tell

me what wild yoga is and how you created it? Yeah, thanks for asking. It's a kind of yoga that

involves loving ourselves, stretching our consciousness, connecting to the earth body as

much as we might connect to our own bodies, delving into the mystery,

listening to dreams, letting our yoga kind of take us back to the larger meaning of yoga,

which is about our relationship to ourselves and our relationship to the whole world.
