Yoga – Mountain Pose

Yoga is super cool because there are so many poses that make yoga easy for everyone. This pose is the first pose that is modified to the other poses in yoga. Its simply standing tall stretching the body.

Benefits of Mountain Pose

A consistent yoga practice can positively influence and enhance overall well-being. It may help body feel better by:

• improving flexibility
• relieving pain
• building strength

Yoga also encourages:

• healthy weight management
• stress relief
• improved breathing patterns

Tadasana is the basis of all standing yoga poses. In terms of alignment, it’s similar to poses such as:

• Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand)
• Sirsasana (Headstand)

You can return to Tadasana in between standing poses to focus on your alignment and balance.

Mountain Pose enhances body awareness to correct imbalances and improve alignment, which reduces risk of injury.

It’s easier to develop awareness and make adjustments when in a simple, static pose like Tadasana. You can also bring this same attention to more advanced asanas.
