Translation: The Tree Pose
From Tadasana the standing pose raise one leg of the mat, bend the knee and place the foot on the inside of the thigh. Open the hip rotating the leg out until the knee and bent leg are sideways.
The hands can be placed above the head with the finger interlocked or with the palms together in prayer position. The arms can be bent or straight.
The tailbone has a tendency to turn out. Be aware of this and tuck it forward. Pull the navel back and up. This will create a neutral spine.
Tips
Engaging the toes will tone muscles in the lower legs and help the body gain firm balance.
Benefits
The complicated firing of the nerves needed to maintain balance exercises the mind as well as the body. Small muscles in the ankles become toned and strong. It is an excellent for ankle injuries however holding the posture too long may aggravate a problem and suppress blood flow.
