In this 7 minute tutorial Jane will show you how to practice tree pose, vriksasana, correctly. Before starting this video, it might be a good idea to grab a chair and place it close to your mat.

Pose type: Standing posture

Targets: Lower-body strength

Benefits: Tree Pose is a strengthening posture that can help build confidence. This pose can improve your posture and counteract the effects of prolonged sitting. On your standing leg, this pose strengthens your thigh, buttock (glute), and ankle. On your lifted leg, this pose gently stretches your entire thigh and buttocks.

Other benefits of tree pose:

• Boosts energy
• Strengthens your core
• Stretches around your shoulders and your back

Über den Trainer/Lehrer

I am a certified yoga teacher and have studied yoga in the Iyengar method since 2004, when I completed my initial teacher training with Eileen Muir in Northampton, Massachusetts. More recently I completed Patricia Walden's teacher training to immerse myself in the Iyengar method, and assisted her weekly until my recent move to Vienna. I am a physical therapist and use my study of anatomy and biomechanics to inform my yoga practice. I am drawn to the Iyengar method for its precision in alignment and its use of yoga philosophy to inform one's daily life. I have a regular practice of chanting the yoga sutras and love to share this in classes.
