Apart from serving fitness goals with her picture, she also shared the many ways nature enhances our well-being.

“We must let the sun strengthen our DNA and the moon enhance our psychic abilities,” she wrote. “Be thankful that the trees absorb our negative energies and the ocean has the ability to cleanse our aura and trigger a conscious state of calm and contentment in our minds.”

How to perform Vrikshana or tree pose

* Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.
* Keep one leg firmly on the ground, lift the other leg, fold it at the knee, and place its foot on the other leg’s thigh.
*Lift both your hands above your head in the ‘namaste’ position. Maintain your balance and hold the position for a while. Repeat with the other leg.
