equal standing pose

Description

Tadasana, Forward Standing Pose is a simple yet active standing posture that serves as the neutral starting point for many sequences. In Tadasana, all major muscle groups are engaged gently: the legs are strong and straight, the core is lightly activated, and the shoulders relax down away from the ears. This pose improves postural awareness and alignment, making it a grounding position that prepares the body for more complex asanas. Tadasana performed with arms at the sides or raised overhead (Upward Salute variation), but in either case the body stacks in one vertical line. Tadasana pose, samastihiti A standing pose characterized by an upright, symmetrical alignment with feet together and arms at the sides.
