About Tadasana Life
TADASANA Life is YOUR New Way of Being ... its where you Step Up into YOUR Life and Ground into the Moment. TADASANA Life is when you stand in the valley, look up at the peak and with every cell in your body shout a resounding “YES, I’m standing up and living this life today”. It’s that moment when your body lights up with electric energy like a ray of sunshine on your face and the knowing that things are about to change...and they just do!
What exactly is Tadasana?
Tadasana is Sanskrit for Mountain Pose, also known as Samasthiti. It is a standing asana in yoga that shows up in all yoga poses. Many see yoga as a form of exercise, but yoga is so much more than that. This is often discovered after some time of developing the practice. Tadasana may not look like much or feel like anything other than just simply standing on two feet...well, that’s not where it ends. Keeping the body active in breath-work and aligned while focusing the mind is deep hard work. The yoga pose Tadasana is more than just standing around. It requires you to be aware of every part of the body and how it’s aligned.
You may be tempted to rush this pose or even skip Tadasana all together since it seems too simple. However, it is a great way to check in with your body and set the foundation for proper alignment throughout your entire asana practice. Therefore, you should practice at least one attentive Tadasana at the beginning of your practice to set you on a great path. As you can now see, this one pose has the potential to set you up for a better experience. Let’s practice and grow together.
