Mountain Pose or Tadasana, is one of the foundational positions in yoga and a useful starting point for understanding posture, balance and alignment.

Despite its simple appearance, there is quite a lot happening in the pose. The feet provide the base, weight is distributed evenly and the spine is lengthened while the shoulders remain relaxed.

Mountain Pose is also used as a starting position for many standing yoga sequences. Paying attention to how the body is positioned here can make it easier to recognise alignment and balance in other poses.

Breathing slowly while holding the position adds another element, creating a moment to focus on how the body feels before moving into the next pose.
