"Sole to soil, I touch the earth.

In this communion,

my soul finds

a true friend."

Sole to Soil, I touch the earth

Breathing in, we slow down

In this communion,

Breathing out, we are free from the busyness of our lives and the serpentine cords living beneath our desks. We enjoy our freedom communing in nature.

my soul finds

Breathing in, we relax into nature's welcoming embrace, and we come to know our garden and ourselves.

a true friend.

Breathing out, we build a true friendship with the Earth and all its inhabitants.

The name for my Yoga and Nutrition consultancy TanMan Aatma refers to the Sanskrit words “Tan” as in body, “Man” as in mind and “Aatma” as in soul or spirit. One must continue to live in harmony with nature, in tune with one’s Tan, Man and Aatma to avoid imbalances that can affect one’s well being. Aatma is spelled differently as it includes first name initials of my children and I and last name initial of me and my husband.
