Monday Morning Yoga




Here you are again Monday morning...  and sooo early this morning was i awoken, that I got to see your sunrise...through tired eyes, still a wonder of beauty.  So, for this week I thought perhaps a pose with focus and energy to get the heart working and the mind calm. See if you can do this pose every day this week for a few minutes.. enjoy and don't forget to breathe.

             




Vriksha-asana
(tree pose)

 When Vriksha-asana is practiced on a regular basis, it cultivates concentration and helps to focus the mind. It also improves balance and coordination. Spiritually, I find it calming and grounding. Most people enjoy tree pose.. try it with your little ones..:)


1- Stand with your feet together and find an unmoving point of focus in front of you.
2- Take your right ankle into your hands and place it into the crease of your thigh... take your time to find a comfortable place here..
3- Bring your hands together and when you are ready and grounded raise your arms straight over your head keeping your arms by your ears.
4- Hold this pose as long as you can.. and remember, if you start to sway.. tree's sway.. stay grounded and Breathe.
5- switch legs


Namaste
