Tadasana

Tadasana (the mountain pose)

Tadasana in general is the starting position for all the standing poses. But it’s useful to practice Tadasana as a steady posture by itself. Stay in the pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute, breathing easily.

You can do this before and after a few rounds of Sun Salutations. Tune into your body and feel the difference.

It’s a very good posture to help with grounding. Especially beneficial when done outdoors, standing barefoot on Mother Earth.

Grounding, barefoot on the earth. (Maria 2025)

    the eagle pose

    The Eagle Pose

     is named after Garuda, the mythical eagle, who had the beak and wings of a bird but the body of a man.


    Garuda Asana does for the arms and legs what the Spinal Twist does for the spine, twisting and squeezing first one side and then the other, to increase circulation to the limbs.
    It is an excellent remedy for varicose veins.
    Because the leg that supports your weight is bent, this strengthens your leg muscles.


    Squeezing your arms and legs together while maintaining the balance improves circulation and develops an awareness of your extremities,  right up to your fingers and toes.
    Hold the pose, breathing deeply, then repeat on the other side, changing arms and legs.
