VRIKSHASANA - STAND STRONG LIKE A TREE
Vrikshasana also known as “The Tree pose” is the most favourite Hatha yoga posture which has been used by ancient yogis for developing will power and deep concentration during basic and intensive Hatha yoga practices. The word, "Hatha" also means a strong assertiveness which we all need in our personality to move forward in our life. The tree pose also can be done in a variety of combinations to energize the vital organs within a short span of time.
Creates Energy Alignment in Your Mind & Body
Spending even just a few breaths in this pose creates peace in your mind and allows your body to slow down. As you concentrate on breathing and remaining still in this balancing pose, any anxiety or stress just melts away as you go on with slow deep breathings and focus on one.
Strengthening for the Core Muscles
This fundamental pose strengthens your balance and core so you can smoothly transition from pose to pose. It also strengthens the muscles in your feet, which can be especially useful for those with poor arch support or those who run! Standing on one leg increases the overall strength in your legs and ankles, which prepares you for more difficult yoga poses.
Posture & Self Esteem
Standing tall and proud (like a 100 year oak tree!) boosts your self-confidence and your posture while opening your heart. Controlling how high you lift your leg is good practice for your pelvic health and improves your overall posture as well.
Energy and Chakra Alignment
The Tree pose creates an alignment in the body that makes the proper space for the energy to flow freely within the pranic channels. The pose is excellent to open up any stagnant energy blocks in the Muladhara, Manipura and the Anahata Chakra. It is a great pose to uplift the base energy towards the higher energy centres of Vishuddhi and Ajna Chakra. It requires time and a little effort but you will feel a healing shift in your health and a fresh new perspective of life.
