Tips

A still, upright stance that trains posture, balance and quiet attention — the starting point of almost every standing practice.

Stand on one leg like a tree — rooted, tall and still. This classic balancing asana sharpens concentration and strengthens the standing leg.

A wide-legged side stretch that opens the chest, lengthens the hamstrings and teaches you to extend rather than collapse.
