Tadasana means Mountain pose. This is the start and end of our sun salutations and it’s a basic Yoga pose that the dedicated yogi, as well as anyone wanting to have a healthy and strong body, should learn.

Instructions for Tadasana:

• Stand tall, but not stiff
• Be mindful not to overextend your knees if you have hypermobility
• Preserve the natural curvature of the spine (don’t tuck or tilt your tailbone)
• Try to have your feet parallel to each other, even if they feel as if you are pigeon toeing.
• Feet can be together or hip stance apart
• Open your chest and have your heart in front of your brain

When you find the right balance in Tadasana you might even want to do your final meditation standing!
