It is the root posture, the mother from which all other postures in your day to day life arise. The instructions for building tadasana correctly can (and should ) apply throughout your yoga practice.
It also constitutes the art of standing:
Tadasana is the present and continuous action unfolding in stillness.
Steps:
1. Stand with your feet together
2. Fan out your toes and let them spread over the ground
3. Distribute the body weight over the entire sole of the foot
4. Activate legs, without tension and without excessive muscle strength
5. Lengthen the spine column.
6. Keep shoulders gently back and shoulder blades toward the ground
7. The chest expands and the abdomen lengthens.
8. Elongate the back of the neck allowing the crown to float towards the ceiling. Keep your throat relaxed
9. Keep active arms next to the body and fingers of the hands directed to the ground
10. As you breathe, increase the stillness by feeling the subtle internal movement of the breath.
Benefits:
• Reveals our vices and postural imbalances and helps us to correct them.
• Improves posture by learning to evenly distribute body weight on the soles of the feet
• Reduces lumbar pressure
• According to yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar “provides lightness to the body and agility to the mind"
• Activate our somatic intelligence
• It also calms the mind
