Tadasana (Mountain Pose)
You need to stand tall, ensuring that your feet are together, shoulders remain relaxed and weight is evenly distributed throughout the soles. The arms need to remain at the sides. This pose teaches you to stand poised and steady. Through the involvement of major muscles, this posture strengthens focus and concentration. The torso has to be elongated while inhalation and shoulder blades have to be released away from the head during exhalation. The collarbone has to be broadened and neck elongated. In this pose, ears, shoulders, hips, and ankles should all be in one line.
