Tree Pose Vrksasana

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand tall with your feet together and arms by your sides.

   • Distribute your weight evenly on both feet.

2. Foot Placement:

   • Shift your weight onto your left foot.

   • Bend your right knee and place your right foot on the inner left thigh, calf, or ankle (avoid the knee).

   • Make sure your right foot is pressing against your left leg to help with balance.

3. Posture:

   • Keep your hips square and your left leg straight.

   • Engage your core for stability.

4. Arm Position:

   • Bring your hands together in front of your chest in a prayer position (Anjali Mudra).

   • As you gain balance, you can extend your arms overhead, keeping the palms together or spreading them wide like branches.

5. Focus:

   • Leverage a focal point in front of you to help maintain balance.

   • Keep your gaze steady and breathe deeply.

6. Hold the Position:

   • Stay in this pose for 20-30 seconds, or as long as comfortable.

   • Focus on your breathing, inhaling and exhaling deeply.

7. Release:

   • Slowly lower your right foot back to the ground.

   • Return to the starting position.

8. Repeat:

   • Switch to the other foot and repeat the steps.

Remember to listen to your body and make adjustments as needed for comfort and stability.
