How to Do the Mountain Pose with Yoga Blocks

Although it is deceptively simple, Mountain pose, or tadasana, is one of the most important yoga poses. You return to mountain pose throughout your yoga practice to quiet your mind in between standing vinyasas. Mountain pose can be practiced with blocks to improve spinal alignment.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Yoga mat
• Comfortable clothing
• 1 or 2 yoga blocks

1. Stand on your mat and place a yoga block between your thighs.

2. Internally rotate your thighs to squeeze into the block. Your feet should be hip distance apart and your toes should point slightly in. Squeezing into the block will rotate the sacrum down.

3. Inhale and raise your arms, pressing the palms towards each other.

4. Remain in mountain pose for several breaths, breathing deeply through the nose.

5. Add the second block, if you'd like, by pressing it between your palms to straighten your arms.
