Mother's Day 2017: Burn Off Brunch Calories for a Good Cause at Rockland Lake VIDEO

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — Here's an idea for Mother's Day. The whole family can have fun, help Keep Rockland Beautiful celebrate 20 years, and raise funds for its environmental education and cleanup programs on May 14. The plan is to build the longest chain of people ever standing in a yoga tree pose.

Everyone will gather on the shores of Rockland Lake at 3 p.m., (which, as organizers note, is a perfect time to burn off the calories from brunch).

The entire chain will be photographed by drone from above — as a symbol to the world that we care about the health of our environment. Use the #MothersDay4MotherEarth hashtag to spread the word, organizers said.

Pre-registration is critical for organizers to plan the day. LINK TO REGISTER

What's a Tree Pose?

A yoga tree pose is a simple stance that virtually anyone can do by placing your hands in the air like branches.

Or be any version of a tree you'd like! Some may choose to do the more advanced version which includes lifting one leg and pressing it against the other so you are standing on one leg.

The pose helps improve balance and mental focus and the result is a body that stands with grace and strength.
