Asana: Your Physical Practice

In exploration of asana (our physical practice experienced through yoga postures/poses), we are able to invite the advantages of proper alignment and depth to engagement into the practice.  Within the member portal, you have access to a library of asanas/postures that have been broken down with alignment and engagement aspects highlighted for the learning yogi in us all.

Tree  /  Vrksasana

  • Tree pose is an open-hip, standing, balance posture
  • Widen the toes and four corners of the rooting foot
  • Open the hip by angling the opposite knee towards the side wall
  • The lifting leg can be put at kickstand (heel to ankle), heel to calf, or heel to thigh - avoid contact with the standing knee
  • Knit the bottom set of ribs and pull the naval point towards the spine to support engagement of the core
  • Extend the top of the head skyward, elongating the spine
  • The hands can extend up as 'branches' or any other variation
