Tree Pose

With the tree pose, you'll strengthen the muscles that support your spine while also improving your balance and posture. The tree position is a stress reliever that can also help with scoliosis pain management. While completing the mountain stance, shift your weight to one foot and do the tree pose.

Step by step:

• Shift your weight to your left foot after completing the mountain posture.
  
• Reach down and grip your right ankle with your right hand.
  
• Place the sole of your right foot against your left thigh as you lift your right foot. If you're unable to reach your thigh, place your foot against your calf instead.
  
• Your spine should be stretched and lengthened. Draw your pelvic bone inward and your tailbone down to the ground.
  
• Move your shoulder blades together and place your palms together in front of your chest.
  
• Take slow, steady breaths while gazing forward.

Beginner’s Tips:

• If you're a newbie, you might have trouble keeping your balance on one foot. In this instance, you can rely on the wall's assistance. Simply stand in front of a wall and do this asana while leaning against it for support.
  
• It's difficult at first to position your foot on the upper thigh. So it's fine if you put your foot on the other leg's lower thigh.

During the activity, keep the following points in mind:

• Do not practice this pose when suffering from insomnia, headaches, or migraines.
• Tree pose is not recommended for people who have recently injured their legs, shoulders, arms, or spine.
