It is a small tabletop piece rather than a statue, and part of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/yoga-figurines\"\u003eyoga figurine collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tree is wire wrapped by hand, which is why the spread of the branches and the placement of the stones differ from piece to piece. No two are set out identically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Padmasana Pose\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePadmasana is the full lotus, with each foot drawn onto the opposite thigh. It is the classic seated posture in Indian tradition and it requires considerably more hip mobility than most adults have, which is why easy pose is what most home practice actually looks like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing a figure by posture rather than by colour gives you something to say about it, which is worth having if the piece is a gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Green Aventurine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen aventurine is a form of quartz with a green colour from included minerals. Its characteristic shimmer comes from those inclusions catching light, an effect called aventurescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chipstones are natural stone, so colour and translucency vary between pieces. Variation is a property of the material rather than a fault in the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere to Put It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA desk, a shelf or a bedside. At approximately 270g it is small enough for a working surface and heavy enough not to move when the surface is knocked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it out of direct sunlight if it is on a windowsill, since prolonged strong light can fade the colour of some natural stones over years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCare\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust with a soft dry brush rather than a cloth, since a cloth catches on the wire branches and can pull the stones out of position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a branch is knocked out of shape it can usually be bent gently back by hand. Wire trees are made to be adjusted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Root \u0026 Still","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58554824229128,"sku":"gemtg-12","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1037\/7861\/5560\/files\/bG9jYWw6Ly9tZWRpYS85Ui8yRS82MFIzMEMxSDc0UksyRTlSL2YzZjAwMDA5LmpwZWc.jpg?v=1787826939","url":"https:\/\/rootandstill.com\/products\/gemstone-yoga-garden-padmasana-pose-green-aventurine-tilted-tree-100-chipstones935","provider":"Root \u0026 Still","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
