Mountain Pose
What is Mountain Pose?
Mountain Pose is the foundation for all standing yoga postures and full inversions, like handstand or headstand. This position acts as the prologue to your practice and several positions throughout your practice. Don’t think about the posture as a moment to zone out -- use the time to look over your body, feel for any aches or pains and prepare for whatever you flow into next.
How do you do Mountain Pose?
Trin 1
Stand tall and press into all four corners of your feet, keeping them parallel and hip-width apart. Feel the strength of your thighs immediately engaging your lower belly. Lengthen your arms alongside the body, your shoulders drawn back towards your spine and your palms turned forward. Focus on your spine, elongating from the base of your heels to the crown of your head.
