Ankita yoga classes - Tadasana

With the advent of technological devices, throughout the day, more than half the populace spends time crouched in front of a desktop or monitor at their workplaces and rivetted to chairs watching television or a smartphone in their leisurely hours. The unhealthy sitting postures at work or home gradually lead to posture misalignment, stiff muscles and sudden muscle strain or pull. Well, for people who have overly busy schedules and cannot make time for a full-fledged workout session, if there is something that corrects this postural issue in a jiffy, it is the foundational yoga pose known as Tadasana.

• Improves body posture and balance.

• Strengthens legs, thighs, knees, and ankles.

• Helps in increasing height (especially in children).

• Enhances blood circulation and energy flow.

• Reduces flat feet and tones abdominal muscles.

• Promotes mental calmness and concentration.

Practising the Mountain Pose can be of great help to people who have the instinct to hunch or slouch while walking or sitting. On performing this asana regularly, the back pain due to the hunched posture gradually disappears which finally improves the overall posture and helps a person to naturally stand tall.
