This assertion threads throughout her experiential exercises, encouraging practitioners to embrace their bodies and the natural world in a dance of mutual reciprocity. 

Rebecca Wildbear highlights the importance of listening—to ourselves, our bodies, and the Earth.  She illustrates this concept beautifully by saying, “Listening is a way we can give back.” Here, she emphasizes that a deeper connection with nature requires attentiveness and humility, inviting us to step away from the busyness of modern life and immerse ourselves in the natural rhythms surrounding us. The core message of Wild Yoga is that healing oneself is intrinsically tied to healing the Earth. Wildbear encourages readers to reclaim the wildness within and advocate for the planet by sharing practices that deepen one’s awareness and compassion. This message resonates strongly in a world facing ecological crises, encouraging individuals to claim their beliefs through action and reverence for the natural world. 

This book is a unique guide for personal growth through yoga practice and a call to arms for environmental advocacy. It challenges us to be “love warriors” for the Earth, fostering a deep bond between our inner and outer landscapes. Wildbear’s voice, infused with poetic grace and heartfelt wisdom, inspires readers to honor their bodies, nurture their spirits, and protect the sacred ground upon which we all stand. The book is imbued with a powerful spiritual energy filled with yoga exercises and wisdom to awaken life within and around us. Fans of oriental spirituality and philosophy and anyone seeking ways to connect more intimately with themselves will adore Wildbear’s work.
