There is something about the ocean that draws us in.<\/p>\n

Whether it is gazing out at the sun dancing on its surface; diving into its cool depths<\/a> to become part of an underwater world of aquatic life; listening to the rhythm of its waves crashing on the shoreline; or gently bobbing up and down on top of it\u2014the ocean soothes our souls, clears our heads, and leaves us replenished and at peace. It is a perfect complement to our yoga practice.<\/p>\n

There is still little science to back up why<\/em> the ocean has this impact, although the healing power of water was identified by our ancestors. Various forms of hydrotherapy have been recorded in\u00a0ancient Egyptian, Persian, Greek and Roman civilizations. And in both Ayurveda<\/a> and traditional Chinese medicine, the water element is integral to providing balance and harmony.<\/p>\n

Our Original Home<\/h3>\n

It is perhaps unsurprising\u2014given our evolution\u2014that we experience water as a healing element. Water is as close to “home” as we can get: Our blue planet is about 70 percent water<\/a>, and our distant ancestors emerged from this water to crawl, and eventually to walk, on the small amount of land there was. Indeed, we still emerge from water into existence. \u201cWe spend the first nine months of our lives immersed in the watery environment of our mother\u2019s womb, and human fetuses still have gill-slit structures in their early stages of development,\u201d Wallace Nichols<\/a>, marine biologist, reminds us in his bestselling book Blue Mind<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

There is an innate connection between the ocean\u00a0and the depths of our consciousness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Water is pivotal. Indeed, it makes up who we are. When we do emerge into the world from our mother\u2019s wombs we are comprised of some 78 percent water<\/a>. And even when that drops to 60 percent later in life, our brains are still made up of about 80 percent water. It\u00a0is also, of course, our life source. We cannot live without clean water<\/a> or clean air, and the ocean even plays a role in the latter\u2014ocean plankton alone provide more than half of our planet\u2019s oxygen. When we can see the ocean we know we are supported; on a subconscious level we can relax.<\/p>\n

Exploring the Depths<\/h3>\n

There is also an innate connection between the ocean\u00a0and the depths of our consciousness. It has an impact on the mind that Nichols has sought to explore. He calls the state invoked by time spent contemplating water or being around water the Blue Mind\u2014<\/em>\u201ca mildly meditative state characterized by calm, peacefulness, unity, and the general happiness and satisfaction with life in the moment”\u2014a state not dissimilar to that induced by yoga.<\/p>\n

He further contends that the influence of water upon meditation doesn’t detract from the practice, but rather “enhances, adds to, and expands” meditation’s benefits. The ocean, or indeed any body of water, therefore is a perfect place for a yoga practice\u2014it supports\u00a0our path of self-discovery.<\/p>\n

By\u00a0contemplating the ocean, or simply by being in its presence, something stirs within us. We are\u00a0reminded of this infinite unknown state, and we are propelled to surrender to it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s not a new notion.\u00a0Throughout history, spiritual, philosophical, and religious texts have contemplated\u00a0the ocean as a symbol of the vast infinite being that we are. In yoga’s beloved text, the Bhagavad Gita<\/em><\/a>, Krishna compares our True Nature with that of an ocean that is never affected by the rivers streaming into it. The Quran refers to two seas\u2014a surface sea that represents the manifest, and the depths below that represent the unmanifest. In the Old and New Testaments, the ocean is seen as a source of miracles\u2014be that flooding the physical world in order to purify it, or walking upon the ocean’s surface, representing the\u00a0strength of our underlying being\u00a0to uphold us.<\/p>\n

Calming the Mind<\/h3>\n

The ocean is used as a symbol of encouragement for us to dig deeper into our spiritual path. Just as 95 percent<\/a> of our oceans remain unexplored, so too do the depths of our minds. Somehow, by\u00a0contemplating the ocean, or simply by being in its presence, something stirs within us. We are\u00a0reminded of this infinite unknown state, and we are propelled to surrender to it.<\/p>\n

Nichols points out the ability of the ocean to allow us to enter that state of surrender. In an interview with The<\/em> Huffington Post<\/em><\/a>\u00a0he points out that in a world of sensory overload<\/a>, the simplicity of a view of the sea, or the sweet sound\u00a0of the ocean can help to quell the endless thoughts. Gazing at the ocean becomes a practice of yoga’s fifth limb, pratyahara<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What better than to allow the ocean to support and encourage our spiritual path than by practicing yoga in its presence this summer. Here as a guide is a yoga sequence to help merge with the ocean outside of us and within us. In particular this sequence focuses on the second chakra (svadhisthana, or the sacral chakra) that is governed by the element water. As always, please take care when practicing in a hot or sun-filled environment, and note the contraindications of these postures.<\/p>\n

Ocean Yoga Practice<\/h3>\n

1. Centering
\n<\/strong>In Sukhasana (Easy Pose) we begin to settle into our practice with an ujjayi breath<\/a>\u2014the ocean breath\u2014seeing if we can let go of controlling,\u00a0and instead allow the breath to merge with the ebb and flow of the tide.<\/p>\n

2. Warming Up
\n<\/strong>Classical Surya Namaskar<\/a>\u00a0is a beautiful practice near the ocean. It is a prayer to the sun\u2014the other powerful source of life. It is thanks to the sun that we have water, and so our Salutations become a practice also of gratitude for the ocean. Here we move slowly, breathing deeply, connecting in each of the 12 postures to the heart center, while allowing the warmth of the sun and the humidity of the ocean air to soften the body\u00a0in this warm up.<\/p>\n

3. Standing Slow Flow Sequence<\/strong>
\nSpending one or two minutes in each asana, we breathe an ujjayi breath, and see if we can create a smooth transition between the following postures that connect us to the Earth, open our hearts, and allow energy to flow more freely through the sacral region: Tadasana; Virabhadrasana 1 (left leg back); Virabhadrasana 2 (left side); Trikonasana (left arm extended upwards), Virabhadrasana 2 (left side), Virabhadrasana 1 (left foot still back); Tadasana; and repeating on the opposite side. We end our standing flow with Dandayamana Yoga Mudrasana (the yogic standing seal), allowing our arms to rise up to the sky at the end, drawing the ocean in front of us into our hearts.<\/p>\n

4. Ground Sequence<\/strong>
\nThere are several floor postures that seek to balance the sacral chakra. Here is a suggested sequence starting with Adho Mukha Svanasana<\/a>\u00a0(Downward Facing Dog) to make the transition\u00a0from our standing postures to the ground, followed by 10 rounds of Cat\/Cow<\/a> to warm up the middle back. Deep breathing and opening our hearts to the ocean is our intention while holding these\u00a0postures for one to two minutes: Salabhasana<\/a>; Balasana<\/a>; Bhujangasana;\u00a0Balasana; Adho Mukha Svanasana; Kapotasana<\/a> (right leg); Adho Mukha Svanasana; Kapotasana (left leg); Adho Mukha Svanasana; Balasana; Dandasana<\/a>; Ardha Matsyendrasana<\/a> (both sides);\u00a0Paschimottanasana<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. Meditation<\/strong>
\nIn either Sukhasana or Vajrasana<\/a> we bring our hands together into dhyana mudra<\/a> representing our intention to set aside our manifest life as we dive deep into our True Nature (ourselves as an ocean) with a five-minute meditation.<\/p>\n

6. <\/strong>Savasana<\/strong>
\nWe complete our practice by lying on our mats, listening to the sound of the waves as we dissolve with the ocean within.<\/p>\n

7. Gratitude<\/strong>
\nFinally we take time to offer a message of gratitude to the ocean for supporting us, and a prayer that all beings may share in our healing, and that the ocean itself may benefit.<\/p>\n
