What,s a Tree Pose?

Yoga is a medium through which a person can maintain his physical and mental health. Vrikshasana is also such an asana, which by doing it regularly gives not one, not two, but many benefits.

The best time to do Vrikshasana is before sunrise on an empty stomach, but if you wake up late at night, can’t get up in the morning, or don’t get time in the morning, then you can do it in the evening too, but do it 5-6 hours after the meal so that the stomach remains empty.

Slowly raise your right leg by bending the knee and bring the soles of the right foot from the inner side to the thigh of the left leg. The left leg should be straight and balanced, it should not be oblique or crooked. After that, taking a deep and long breath, bring both your hands above the head and come in the posture of Namaskar. The Head, spine, and waist should be in a straight line, there should be no disbalance. Stay in this posture for about 30 seconds to one minute and keep breathing and exhaling slowly. After that, take a deep breath and come to the starting position.

Now do all the above actions by standing on the right foot. This is the best way to do Vrikshasana.
