Mountain Pose (Tadasana) – [tah – dahs – anna] - Tada = mountain

Tadasana is wonderful for improving your posture and alignment, toning the spinal nerves, and creating a sense of awareness through the body.

Upward Hand Pose (Urdhva Hastasana) – [erd-vah ahs-tahs-anna]

A perfect pose to awaken the body, bringing energy and feeling through the entire body from the finger tips down through the souls of the feet.

Standing Side-Stretch

Gently opens the side of the body, especially the ribs and intercostal muscles. Bends the spine laterally (to the side) and allows one to explore a very uncommon movement.

Triangle Pose (Trikonasana) – [Trik-o-nahs-anna]

Trikonasana asks our legs, spine and neck to be strong. As with every pose, don’t push yourself to achieve the “final” posture.
