Yoga for Leadership™. 🌱

When was the last time your leadership felt… alive?


Welcome back to your weekly leadership practice.

A moment to pause, breathe, and return to center.


We’re in Week 4 of our Opening with Spring series. 🌸


A practice of expanding into what’s next, without losing yourself along the way.

This week: expanding with aliveness.  


✨Wild Thing (Camatkarasana)

Leadership Practice: Leading with Aliveness


Wild Thing is a pose of opening.


Your feet stay grounded.

One hand anchors you.


And then, you lift.

Your chest opens.

Your arm reaches back into space.


There’s strength here.

But also freedom, joy, power.


It’s not rigid.

It’s not tightly controlled.


You feel alive in it.  

And for me, this kind of opening is also vulnerable.


In leadership, this is often the part we hold back.


We stay composed.

Measured.

Careful not to take up too much space.


Especially as things get bigger.

More visible.

Higher stakes.


But growth isn’t only about structure.

It’s also about expression.


Spring doesn’t grow efficiently.It grows fully.


Not just what’s necessary.

But what’s ready to come to life.


Wild Thing reminds us that grounded leadership can still be expansive.

You don’t lose your center by opening.

You extend it.


🌱 Leadership Practice 

Where in your leadership have you been holding yourself just a little too tightly? 

What might shift if you allowed a bit more expression, energy, or range?


💫 Ask yourself 

What would it look like to lead with more aliveness, not just control?


One breath.

One pose.

One practice at a time.
