Mountain Pose - Tadasana

This posture is tough!  You will know you are doing it well, if you feel your entire body working.  Also, as you move about your day, be aware of how you stand.  This posture improves your posture dramatically as you practice it as often as you remember :)

Mountain Pose - Tadasana

• Feet sit bone distance apart (not hips width, in slightly more).
• Imagine energy flowing upward from the inner arch of your feet, up the shins and down the calves.
• Inner thigh energy flowing up and rotating outward.
• SLIGHTLY tuck the tailbone in and up. (naturally will engage your core)
• Front low ribs coming in toward each other, slightly
• open the heart space and relax shoulders
• lengthen the back of the neck as the crown of your head rises toward the sky.
• slightly tip the chin down.  Slightly!  :)
• Activate through the fingertips!
