Tadasana – Mountain pose

Tada means mountain. In Tadasana , the body is straight like a mountain and the feet are firm against the ground. The posture is more serene than rigid. You will have a feeling of lightness in the body, since less effort is needed to maintain the position against gravity.

Technique

  1. Start by concentrating on your breath. Constantly deepen your breath
  2. Bring your feet together until your toes and heels touch. Raise your fingers, spread them apart, and press down. Press the same with your heels. Center the weight so that the body is evenly distributed between the two feet.
  3. Squeeze your knees by pulling on the kneecaps. Stretch the back of your legs.
  4. Tuck in your stomach and expand your chest. Don”t arch your back.
  5. Place your arms at the sides of your body with your fingers pointing downward.
  6. Exhale and release the tension from your shoulders by lowering them.
