Description

Tree pose exercise is one of the great beneficial moves of Yoga exercises. The main requirement of the move is to stand tall and balance yourself on one foot. It is a relaxing pose that works on a number of major muscles all over the body. Holding and balancing your full body weight on one foot is a perfect way to stress lower body muscles hard but the effects are excellent for strength and balance. Tree pose particularly works on gluteus, thighs, ankles and calves plus it increases strength in core abdominal muscles, spine and back. The key is to be calm and slow throughout the pose and concentrate on each move. Yoga tree pose requires concentration and if performed properly then it increases your concentration and coordination as well.

Step 1

Start standing with your toes together, heels apart. Hold the ball in the middle of your chest. Press down through your left foot and lift your right leg up, bringing the sole of your foot to the inner part of your left leg. Extend your arms and raise the ball to your chest while squeezing your butt and keeping yourself upright.

Step 2

Hold the ball steady to your chest for two breaths, then extend your arms upward towards the ceiling for three breaths, exhale and lower the ball to your chest again. Switch legs and repeat for 60 seconds
