Tree pose

Do you have poor balance? Think you can't stand on one foot without falling over? I have a challenge for you. Try tree pose everyday for 4 weeks. You'll be amazed how much balance you do have!

Tree pose helps to balance the left and right hemispheres of your brain relieving anxiety & promoting a sense of calm and peace of mind.

There are three variations of tree pose. Start with the first one then work up to the third. You can use a chair or a wall to help you until your balance improves. If you fall out of the pose start back to step 1.

Variation 1

Start with your feet hip width apart feet firmly planted on the mat.
Soften your knees.
Tuck your hips in.
Back is straight as if you were up against a wall.
Chin is down.
Get your set point. A spot in front of you that doesn't move.
Hands to heart center.
Lean into your right leg.
Raise your left foot to your ankle.
Toes on the mat.
Heel above the ankle.
Open up your left knee.
When you feel stable raise your arms above your head with hands together.
Breathe in through your nostrils and out through your nostrils.
Let your tree blossom by opening your arms up to the sky and let them flow out to your sides & into hands to heart center.
Repeat with your other leg.
