Execution

• Keep your back straight. Don't arch back your back. Round your upper back a little bit -> Not notable.
• Look straight forward.
• Relax your shoulders.
• The hands hang down relaxed on your sides. Palms point to your thighs.
• Feet: Approximately one shoulder width apart. The toes point in slightly. The heels carry slightly less weight than the balls of the feet.

Advice

• The Tadasana is not a REST pose. Many yoga practitioners make the mistake to take the mountain pose as a relaxion position. Remember that you still have to concentrate on your stance and your breathing. Stay focused.
