Posture Tip: Mountain (in Sanskrit it's called Tadasana) pose forms the foundation for all of our standing poses. It teaches us how to stand on our own two feet, balancing our weight evenly throughout the entire foot. Then we can begin to experience the feeling of stacking our joints over this strong foundation: the knees over the ankles, a neutral pelvic region over the knees; shoulders back and down, i.e. a lifted sternum while allowing the shoulder blades to draw down against the back ribs; and finally balancing the head evenly over the shoulders. Work on this posture at every class – it’s also a great posture to explore when developing your own home practice.
