Tree Pose (Vrksasana)

Tree Pose is a standing posture in which the Yoga will balance on one foot while bending the opposite leg and placing the foot on the inner thigh of the standing leg. Tree Pose helps the Yogi with balance and stability. Tree Pose tones the feet, legs, and glutes and helps to give strength to the bones of the hips and legs. Energetically, Tree Pose is known to help with balance, stability, self-expression, and confidence.

To do Tree Pose, begin standing on two feet in Mountain Pose. Lift one leg, bend the knee, and bring the sole of the foot to the inner thigh. Find balance, breathe, and extend the arms overhead while grounding through the standing foot.
