1. Tadasana (Mountain Pose)

Tadasana or Mountain Pose is one of the many poses of yoga that helps in the overall development of the body and certain body parts. It is the basic pose, which helps to learn the basic and the right way to stand hold and maintain balance.

It’s a standing balancing posture due which this is called tree, or versashna. It will strengthens thighs, calves, ankles, and spine, stretches the groins and inner thighs, chest and shoulders and also improves sense of balance, relieves sciatica and reduces flat feet. Take your right foot intently into the ground, and just come on to the tiptoes of your left foot, so you can feel the weight transfer from both to just one and you will take your left knee and over it, and you can grab onto it and then take the knee, open it like a gate. The best place would be to come to the shin bone or to the ankle. Avoid the knee joint in this pose, or pressing into the knee joint, so it's alright above the knee joint or below.
