The blueprint for all other asanas. Mountain Pose teaches the art of standing with integrity, grounding through the feet while finding effortless height through the crown.
Stand tall with feet together.
Engage the legs, lift the kneecaps.
Relax the shoulders down the back.
Big toes touching, heels slightly apart.
Root through the four corners of the feet.
Stack shoulders over hips, and hips over ankles.
Lengthen the tailbone toward the heels.
Reach the crown of the head toward the sky.
