| Abstract | For many researchers and writers in the environmental and ecological education fields, outdoor and experiential educational methods are understood to be especially powerful for the development of ecological literacy and consciousness in students, both of which are crucial if one is to develop healthier and more respectful ways of interacting with the land. As an ecological educator who is passionate about living in a respectful relationship with the land and who has spent the past year studying yoga intensively, the author sought to bridge these two worlds by asking, "How can the practice of hatha yoga aid in the development of ecological consciousness?" The practice of hatha yoga is well known for its ability to help with relaxation, stress reduction, and the development of strength and flexibility. It is also an incredibly powerful practice for aligning body and mind, and increasing awareness of both the physical body and the inner self. Many of the various hatha yoga asanas, or poses, mimic natural landforms and creatures, and physically capture the essence of central quality of each through posture and movement. In this article, the author discusses how to use the body to interpret the teachings of the land. By positioning the body in various asanas and using awareness of the breath to align the mind with the body, it becomes possible to access the unique teachings of each of the various elements of the natural environment.
