Correctly perform the position of the tree

  1. We are getting straight. Legs shoulder width apart. Hands are freely lowered. We relax. For this we do a couple of times in-breath, exhale. Do not forget to repeat "My mind is peaceful and I am relaxed."
  2. We look straight ahead. To the side we remove the right leg, bend it in the knee. The right foot is placed on the left thigh from its inner side. We try to stop the right leg as close to the groin as possible. It is worth noting that it is inappropriate to do everything through pain. If you do not get high right foot, it's not scary.
  3. We keep the left leg straight, without bending it in the knee. The knee cap is important to pull up.
  4. When you feel that you managed to find a balance and it turns out to stand on one leg, take a deep breath, raise your hands over your head, fold your palms together and create something like an Indian greeting "namaste."
  5. The balance can be kept longer only when you look forward. Stay in the pose is as long as you feel comfortable. It is important not to forget to breathe freely without straining.
  6. It will not be superfluous, more opening the chest and straightening his back, reach up, pausing for a couple of seconds in this position.
