Tree Pose

Vṛkṣāsana is comprised of "Vṛkṣa" (tree) and "Āsana" (posture/pose). Like a tree firmly rooted in the earth and reaching towards the sky, it is a standing pose that cultivates a stable mind and balance.

It strengthens the feet, legs, core, and back muscles, enhancing concentration and stability. By standing on one leg, it helps calm mental fluctuations and fosters inner peace. It is also seen as a symbol of connection to nature and growth.

Stand on one leg, placing the sole of the other foot on the inner thigh, calf, or ankle of the standing leg. Hands can be joined at the chest or extended overhead like branches. Focus the gaze on a single point and maintain deep breaths.
