Our pose of the month for March is Mountain Pose, or Tadasana!
Mountain pose is the foundation for all of the standing postures and improves posture, groundedness, stability and body awareness. Physically, it helps to improve alignment and balance, which can be beneficial to other poses and daily movements. Tadasana also helps to increase height, improves spinal health, strengthens the leg muscles, and gently engages the abdominal muscles. On a mental level, mountain pose encourages focus and alertness, creating a sense of inner peace and stability. Mentally, Tadasana encourages balance, stillness, and strength, helping to cultivate a sense of being rooted in the present moment. Emotionally, Mountain pose helps to promote self-confidence, openness, and mental clarity.
How to get into Mountain Pose:
*Stand with your big toes touching and your heels slightly apart. Lift and spread your toes and then lower them back to the mat.
*Stack your shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles in a straight line. Lift the front of your pelvis up towards your belly button.
*Let your arms fall at your sides, palms facing forward. Stay here, or reach your hands up towards the ceiling, finding Kali Mudra with your hands.
*Keep your gaze straight ahead, and breathe.
