Tadasana pose helps
in improving body posture, balance and
self-awareness. Tadasana is a deceptive pose as
it looks simple to perform. To perform Tadasana
you have to stand with your feet together, hands
at your sides and eyes looking forward.
Thereafter raise your toes and then place them
back down on the ground. Slant the pubic bone a
little forward. Lift your chest up and out, but
remember when you lift your chest do it with
moderation. The next step is to raise the head
up and lengthen the neck by lifting the base of
your skull in the direction of the ceiling.
Press on into the ground with your feet and lift
your legs, first the calves followed by your
thighs. Start breathing and remain in the same
posture and stay calm.
While you inhale feel as if the breath is coming
up through the floor, rising through your legs,
trunk up into your head. When you start exhaling
watch your breath as it passes down from your
head through the chest and stomach, legs and
finally feet. Pause for some breaths; relax and
repeat the same process. When you are performing
the next inhaling exercise, raise your arms over
your head and again pause for some breaths. Then
put down your arms on exhale. Remember to warm
yourself up by creating rhythm between raising
and lowering of arms along with your breath.
This part is very crucial in the performance of
Tadasana.
