The yoga pose, known as Mountain Pose (Tadasana), is a foundational standing pose that serves as the basis for many other poses. It involves standing with feet together, arms by the sides, and the entire body aligned in a straight line from head to toe. This pose is commonly practiced to cultivate balance, stability, and a sense of groundedness.

Benefits
- Improves Posture: Tadasana strengthens core muscles and helps align the spine, leading to improved posture.
- Increases Body Awareness: This pose encourages mindful attention to the body, allowing you to become more aware of your alignment and any imbalances.

- Calms the Nervous System: The gentle engagement of muscles in this pose can help soothe the nervous system and promote a sense of calm.
Steps
- Stand with your feet together, heels touching and toes pointing forward.
- Distribute your weight evenly on both feet. Imagine a line of energy extending from the top of your head through the center of your body to the ground.

- Keep your arms relaxed by your sides, palms facing your body.
- Softly gaze straight ahead.

Precautions
- Avoid straining your neck by keeping your head in line with your spine.
- If you have any lower back pain, you can slightly bend your knees to take pressure off your spine.
- If you feel any discomfort, gently adjust your posture until you find a comfortable position.
Suitable For
