This pose teaches one to stand with majestic steadiness like a mountain. The word \u2018Tada\u2019 means a mountain, that\u2019s where the name comes from. It involves the major groups of muscles and improves focus and concentration. It is the starting position for all the other poses.<\/p>\n
Stand with your heels slightly apart and hang your arms besides the torso. Gently lift and spread your toes and the balls of your feet, then lay them softly down on the floor. Balance your body weight on your feet. Lift your ankles and firm your thigh muscles while rotating them inwards. As you inhale, elongate your torso and when you exhale release your shoulder blades away from your head. Broaden your collarbone and elongate your neck. Your ears, shoulders, hips and ankles should all be in one line. (Valium<\/a>) You can check your alignment by standing against the wall initially. You can even raise your hands and stretch them. Breathe easy.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u201d1_3\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.2.2\u2033 background_color=\u201d#f7f7f7\u2033 custom_padding=\u201d40px|20px|40px|20px|false|false\u201d border_width_all=\u201d1px\u201d border_color_all=\u201d#d3d3d3\u2033][et_pb_image src=\u201dhttps:\/\/vinyasayogaacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/OUR-PHILOSOPHY.jpg\u201d url=\u201dhttps:\/\/vinyasayogaacademy.com\/\u201d module_class=\u201dsticky\u201d _builder_version=\u201d4.2.2\u2033][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tadasana (Mountain Pose) This pose teaches one to stand with majestic steadiness like a mountain.
