tree pose

One-legged yoga balance

Tree pose is a standing yoga posture where the practitioner balances on one leg while the other foot rests against the inner thigh or calf, arms typically raised overhead or pressed together at the chest.

The pose develops balance and focus: I always wobble in tree pose.

Sanskrit name: vrikshasana.
