Tadasana
Tree Pose

BENEFITS:
  • Calms the nervous system in preparation for Savasana
  • Assists in correcting poor posture
  • Increases hip and knee mobility
  • Stretches the spine
  • Releases abdominal tension
  • Relieves lower back pain
  • Strengthens oblique muscles to prevent hernia
  • Good for circulatory problems, arthritis and rheumatism
tips:
  • As with other standing one-legged postures, the standing leg remains flexed with the kneecap lifted.
  • Imagine gravity rooting the body from the hips down through the floor while feeling a sense of anti-gravity from the waist through the top of the head.
  • Flex both buttocks.
  • Keep the lower back flat (Sometimes a sway-back occurs) while lifting the abdomen.
