Fearful Relaxed Tree Yoga Position for Menopausal Women

Video Transcript

"So go ahead and come to standing. We are going to do a balance posture next. You can bring your hands in the prayer position so your palms are touching one another and your thumbs right in front of your heart. The first variation is to just go ahead and bring the ball of your foot to the floor and just open your leg out to the side. You can stay here or you can bring the sole of your foot to the inside of your calf or you can reach down and bring the sole of your foot against the opposite by. Make a spot on the floor may be six feet in front of you and try to keep your toes relaxed on the floor, try to keep the muscles around your eyes and your mouth relaxed. Make sure you are not holding your breath. So balance postures are great postures of practice. They teach us how to stay relaxed, how to stay calm and don’t afraid you are going to fall. So typically we are going to balance posturally you are going to hold your breath and create tension and I really want you to against breathing softly from the belly, keeping the shoulders relaxed and keeping the face relaxed. Good, we will switch to the other side, again you can stay here the ball of your foot in the floor, bring the sole of your foot against the calf, here we stand and bring against the opposite eye, can pick a spot on the floor, so your gaze is focussed but soft. You are breathing from the belly, you are breathing through the nose. Postures also help us to be very pleasant. My mind begins to wander away from keeping my balance off fall so they really make me be here now, be connected to my body to pay attention and then go ahead and come out of the pose."
