#YogaTherapy Benefits On + Off The Mat
Tree Posture is a classic and powerful posture that captures the essence of yoga at a glance. It is a great posture to learn whether this is your first time on a mat or the advanced yogi, because it teaches you to trust your body and respect that your inner equilibrium changes from day-to-day (and that’s okay). A wonderful advantage of this posture (and one of the reasons I chose to teach this pose as our first tutorial) is that it clearly breaks down the beginner, intermediate & advanced options in a concise and eloquent way. Tree Posture is symbolic reminding yogis that in order to stay balanced, one must first find their focus and take care of their core strength before “branching out” to others spreading themselves too thin in order to prevent falling over. This life lesson is great advice encouraging one to maintain their balance both on the mat—and off the mat in life.
