Plant a Tree Pose
Help us plant 1 million trees and weave together a global masterpiece honoring our deep connection to nature. Your single pose is the seed of planetary change.
Something monumental is taking root. Soon, we will invite you to join a global movement that transforms a simple, grounded gesture—the yoga tree pose—into real, thriving forests around the world. Together, our individual actions and images will be woven into a breathtaking, collective work of art that celebrates earth's ancient giants on a world stage.
Why Trees?
We all have a universal connection with trees, they are beings of peace, beauty, nurturance, and nourishment. Their giving and grounding nature makes them the perfect teachers to guide us how to be, how to live, how to create in harmony. Trees illustrate how to root into the earth and reach toward the light. They are sovereign standing beings that show us how to bend in right relationship. Trees are a vital and foundational part of creating our new earth — regenerating the lungs and landscape, and very life of our human home.

Natural Healers
The health of the forest is directly tied to our own. Proximity to trees has been scientifically proven to lower cortisol levels, reduce blood pressure, and boost immune function. By protecting trees, we are actively safeguarding our own physical and mental resilience.
Sanctuaries of the Wild
Forests are the most biologically diverse ecosystems on land, providing habitat for roughly 80% of the world’s terrestrial amphibian, bird, and mammal species. Planting trees restores these critical sanctuaries, preventing specific extinction and fostering resilient ecosystems.
Guardians of the Watershed
A tree’s root system acts as a massive natural sponge, anchoring the soil to prevent devastating erosion. A single mature oak tree can transpire over 40,000 gallons of water back into the atmosphere annually, regulating local climates and purifying rainwater before it replenishes our aquifers.

The Lungs of the Earth
A single mature tree can absorb over 48 pounds of CO2 per year, and global forests capture nearly one-third of all human-generated carbon emissions. They filter harmful pollutants from the air and release pure oxygen.

The Plant a Tree Pose movement brings individuals together from around the world, united to foster and nourish life and to limit the ways we destroy and diminish the earth. It is a platform, a tree house, to tell stories of trees, forests, creatures, humanity, possibility, and love. It is a way to connect, educate, inspire, and create beauty in the world.
I invite you to stand with the trees to help protect and preserve our precious home for us and the generations to come. Join us!
"Desires are like seeds left in the ground: they wait for the right season and then spontaneously manifest into beautiful flowers and mighty trees, into enchanted gardens and majestic forests."
