Position of the week: 12/11

[LoveGuinness]

Tree Pose



STEP 1: Stand straight with your feet together.

STEP 2: Bring your weight onto your left foot, feeling the ground with your left foot as you prepare to balance.

STEP 3: Pick up your right foot. Bend your right leg, placing the sole of your right foot on the inside of your left thigh.

STEP 4: Press your right foot into your left thigh as you stretch upward.

STEP 5: Raise your arms above your head once you have your balance, shoulder-width apart, with your palms facing together. Keep your shoulders down.

STEP 6: Practice until you can hold the pose comfortably for about 30 seconds.

STEP 7: Repeat, this time standing on the right foot and lifting the left.

Here is a tip: focusing on a stationary point in front of you will help you maintain your balance.

what's the point of this? to gain balance? flexibilty?

[LoveGuinness]

The point is to gain balance. By focusing on balancing, you are not focusing on all your other life stressors. So its essentially going to relax you as well
