TREE Pose : Vrksasana

Posted by randy 28 Jul, 2010

deZengo posted a photo: Vrksāsana is a yoga pose referred to in English as the Tree Pose [1]. From mountain pose, weight is shifted to one leg, for example, starting with the left leg. The entire sole of the foot remains in contact with the floor. The right knee is bent and the right foot placed on the left inner thigh, or in half lotus position. With the toes of the right foot pointing directly down, the left foot, center of the pelvis, shoulders and head are all vertically aligned. Hands are typically held above the head either pointed directly upwards and unclasped, or clasped together in Añjali Mudrā. The pose is typically held for 20 to 60 seconds to stretch the spine, returning to the mountain pose while exhaling, then repeating standing on the opposite leg. The pose emphasizes alignment of the head, spine and hips. Faults[2] include leaning to one side, twisting, pushing one hip out; bending or rotating the supporting knee outwards; looking downwards and lacking concentration. Iyengar claims[3][4] the pose improves balance, poise and posture. Hewitt claims[5] it improves posture and concentration, limbers the hips, deepens the thorax, strengthens the ankles, and firms and tones the muscles of the legs, back and chest. Raising the arms above the head for any length of time may involve risks for persons with High blood pressure. The arms can be held at chest height in Añjali Mudrā for those at risk.

Words like “downward dog,” “cobra pose ,” “ dolphin ,” “tree,” “vinyasa,” “chaturanga,” “reverse warrior,” “pigeon” and “lotus” made me think I was in a Kama Sutra class! I had no idea what each term was; let alone how to do it. …
