Tree Pose
Tree PoseDay 18 of our 30 Day Yoga Challenge focuses on Tree Pose. Also known as Vrksasana, the pose has many benefits for the body.
Not only does it build strength in the lower body and abdominal muscles, it’s also therapeutic for those of us with lower back pain.
According to Sarah, to achieve this post you should, ‘bring your hands towards the heart centre and lift your chest up towards the ceiling.’
Check back in tomorrow for the next move in our yoga challenge video series.
Our 30 day yoga challenge
Each day you will be learning a new aspect to the practice, so in a month you will have learned the basic yoga poses in depth and participate in classes or do a proper sequence yourself.
Shockingly to most people, yoga is a meditation that anyone can do. You don’t need a specific body type to master the practice, you just need the right skills – and you don’t need to be bendy! Our 30 day challenge will give you the skills to become a true yogi.
