Vrikshasana is also known as the Tree pose. Vriksh in Sanskrit means Tree. The posture resembles a strongly rooted tree and hence the name. When one does this asana, one's body look steady, balanced and graceful like a tree. The asana warms up the body and prepares it for more difficult poses.
Contraindications:
Those who suffer from high blood pressure should not raise their arms above the head for a long period of time. They can be held at the chest in the 'Anjali mudra' ( hands folded in prayer). It is best that you avoid practicing this pose if you suffer from insomnia or migraine.
Benefits:
● Tones the leg muscles. ● Gives a sense of balance and poise. ● Improves concentration and will power. ● Good for lower back ache. ● Strengthens shoulders, knees.
Note: Initially, eyes should be kept open while doing all balancing poses.
