TADASANA ... (Standing Mountain Pose) This is the simplest pose of all. All you do is close your eyes and stand up straight with your arms to your side. Concentration is on the spine. Even though it is so simple, it has great benefits for your breathing and your posture. This is also what is called a "grounding" posture - which simply means by performing this pose you become centered within yourself ... grounded to the earth beneath you ... unmoving and unshakeable to outside worries or woes. This is a great posture to use when you are being attacked by a co-worker or if something is causing stress in your life.
