Yoga वृक्षासन (Vrikshasana)

Yoga वृक्षासन (Vrikshasana)

वृक्षासन (Vrikshasana) – this is a standing kind of yoga that may be translated as a tree pose; and indeed, it is a pose which means stability and beauty of the movement at the same time. This term is derived from Sanskrit: वृक्ष (Vriksha) meaning tree and आसन (Asana) meaning posture. As the Tree Pose requires steady stance of the body so the message that the practitioners are supposed to derive out of this pose is stability, both, physical and mental. Just like a tree stands tall and firm, this pose encourages the practitioner to cultivate physical and mental steadiness.
