How To Do A Tree Yoga Pose

Video Transcript

Hello, my name is Samantha Raphael on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip I'll be demonstrating Tree Pose. To begin, stand up tall at the front of your mat in Mountain Pose, which just means you're standing up as tall as you can, all the muscles in your legs are engaged, your chest is lifts, your shoulders are dropped down, take your hands to prayer position, heart center, and then begin to put a little more weight into your left foot. Start to lift your right leg, hinging at the knee. Now, if you feel really wobbly already at this point, take your hand against the wall, your left hand. When you're ready, take your right foot into your right hand, or I should say, your right lower leg and place your right foot onto your left inner thigh. Continue to stand up as tall as you can, and then place either one hand, if you're against the wall, or both hands to heart center. Keep rolling that right hip open as you ground into the left foot. Try not to grip so much with your toes, see if you can do that. And then when you're ready, if you're ready, this may be fine for you, but if you want to challenge yourself a little bit more, with an inhale, lift your arms straight up towards the ceiling. Now, if you want a little bit more challenge send your gaze up towards the ceiling as well and hold here for five breaths. When you're ready to come out of it, breath out through your nose, take your hands to prayer position, heart center,or one hand if you're against that wall, and release your right foot, come back to Mountain Pose. Remember you always want to repeat the same pose on the other side.
