Tree pose is one of the first balance poses that many yogis learn. As the name suggests, it teaches you to remain strong, grounded, and rooted down despite the winds that try to shake you. Learn why you should incorporate this powerful pose in your practice.

Here are some health benefits of Tree Pose:
Improves your balance, stability, and focus
Stretches your inner thighs, groin, chest, and shoulders
Strengthens your thighs, calves, ankles, and feet
Helps relieve sciatic pain

How to do Tree Pose:
1. Come to a standing position with your feet together.
2. Find a focal point to help you balance, then lift one leg up off the ground, grabbing ahold of your knee.
3. Root down through all four corners of your standingleg foot to find balance.
4. Grab the ankle of your lifted leg with the sameside hand. Flex your foot, and bring the sole of your foot as high as you can on the standingleg inner thigh with your toes facing down.
5. Press your foot into your thigh and your thigh into your foot to create a lock.
6. Bring your hands to your heart, or reach your arms high overhead to the fullest expression of the pose.
