Mountain Pose (Tadasana) Yoga Positions for Beginners
One of the most common standing poses in yoga may not even feel like
much of a pose -- but when you do it correctly, you will realize that
even this simple position is a very active one that
promotes good
posture and balance and a strong lower body.
Stand on the mat with
feet together, shoulders back and hands at your side. Lift the tops of
your feet up and spread your toes, rocking slightly back and forth a few
times until you feel that you are balanced evenly between the heels and
the balls of your feet. Firm up your thigh and quadriceps, trying to
feel your kneecaps lift up, and try to lengthen your back as much as
possible. Look straight ahead, and press your shoulder blades down and
back. You may keep your hands at your side, or press your palms together
in the center of your body.
