Tree Pose | Yoga

Tree Pose is the topic of class today. Tree Pose [ Vrksansana ] is one of the very important pose. Hellooooooo our dear Yogis, welcome to our new episode of Yoga with Eeman. In this episode, Eeman will show you the process of Tree Pose (Vrksansana). Tree Pose (Vrksansana) is usually the first standing balance pose that is taught to yoga beginners because it’s the simplest. Keep your sense of humor about learning to stand on one leg. It’s harder than it looks at first and will be different every day. Don’t get frustrated if you wobble or even fall over at first.

Tree Pose

Benefits: Tree Pose is a strengthening posture that can help build confidence. This pose can improve your posture and counteract the effects of prolonged sitting. On your standing leg, this pose strengthens your thigh, buttock (glute), and ankle. On your lifted leg, this pose gently stretches your entire thigh and buttocks.

Other Tree Pose perks:

• Boosts energy
• Strengthens your core
• Stretches around your shoulders and your back (latissimus dorsi)

How to do Tree Pose

1. Stand in Tadasana. Spread your toes, press your feet into the mat and firm your leg muscles. Raise your front hip points toward your lower ribs to gently lift in your lower belly.
2. Inhale deeply, lifting your chest, and exhale as you draw your shoulder blades down your back. Look straight ahead at a steady gazing spot.
3. Place your hands on your hips and raise your right foot high onto your left thigh or shin. Avoid making contact with the knee.
4. Press your right foot and left leg into each other.
5. Check that your pelvis is level and squared to the front.
6. When you feel steady, place your hands into Anjali Mudra at the heart or stretch your arms overhead like branches reaching into the sun.
7. Hold for several breaths, then step back into Mountain Pose and repeat on the other side.

Beginner tips

• Practice Tree Pose while standing a few inches from a wall on your straight-leg side. Even if you don’t touch the wall, the proximity of it helps you feel confident you won’t fall out of the pose. But if you wobble, you can simply reach out a hand and rebalance yourself.
• To avoid falling out of Tree Pose, you need to explore and understand your hip-opening capacity. If your hips aren’t naturally open and you force the lifted knee to point straight out to the side, your entire pelvis will twist in that direction, pulling you out of alignment. Your hips should be level and facing forward, even if it means your knee is not rotated out as far.
• When you reach up, keep the arms aligned with the ears. Taking your hands too far back may shift your center of gravity and cause you to fall backward.
• Lean into the metaphor of the Tree, embodying the roots below, the strong trunk, and the full flowering of your upward reach.

Be mindful!

• Don’t turn out the foot on your standing leg. This can misalign the supporting knee and hip. Keep your toes and knee facing forward.
• Never place your foot on the opposite knee. Rather, keep the foot above or below the knee in order to protect the knee of the standing leg.
• If you have shoulder pain, numbness, tingling, or shooting pain when you lift your arm, try keeping your hand on your hips.
