The Standing Lotus Breath is an ancient whole body yogic exercise that metaphorically  repeats the blooming process of the lotus plant. Beginning as a tiny seedling in the dark soil at the bottom of the pond, the young plant grows and stretches upward toward the sunlight. Finally breaking through the surface of the pond,  the lotus flower is still a tightly wrapped bud. In the fullness of sunlight, though,  it opens into a glorious, fully bloomed flower.
