Step-by-Step Guide for Mountain Pose:
- Stand on a yoga mat.
- Let your big toes touch and ensure the heels are apart.
- Spread your weight equally throughout your feet, including all the toes and heels.
- Make sure your feet are at a parallel distance and that your knees do not touch together.
- Stand tall and keep your back straight.
- Let your tailbone drop so that your lower body can feel lengthened.
- Transfer the weight of your upper body to your hip joints via your pelvis.
- If your pelvis is balanced rightly on your femur bones, you will know you’re doing it right.
- Make sure your shoulders are at the center of your front and back.
- You will know you’re doing it right when your upper back is relaxed.
- Breathe and hold this position for as long as you want.
- Simply relax whenever you feel like releasing the pose.
Things to Keep in Mind:
Here is a list of things to keep in mind:
- You can bend your knees if it gets hard to keep your pelvis straight or balanced. Once you feel your pelvis balanced after dropping your tailbone, bring your knees back into a straight position.
- Make sure your chin is parallel to the floor.
- See if the body is tight anywhere. Make sure those areas are relaxed and softened.
- Center your glare at the tip of your nose or one fixed point in front.
- Your weight distribution and balance can help increase your body’s awareness. Keep an eye on your body’s alignment, posture, and balance.
Here’s what you should look out for:
- Do not constrict or tighten your body throughout this pose.
- Do not speed up the steps.
