Ever wonder what it was like to be a mountain? Born from the Earth, rising up to meet the heavens or the sky. The majesty of the mountain stretches far and wide over the lands, valleys and streams and yet the mountain is humbled in its connection to the terrestrial force. The mountain calls our attraction to its presence, inspiring us to its feet and the journey up to its peak of potential, composed of the very minerals that inform our bodies. The mountain, an embodiment of the planet’s ancestral knowledge — shifting, folding, faulting, erupting, and metamorphosing over time immemorial.
Practicing Tadasana:
Tadasana is said to be the asana upon which all other asanas stem from. People have actually sweat in the asana. Over time, our muscles become hard and our bones become soft. The practice of becoming the mountain improves skeletal alignment by strengthening the core, legs, muscles and bones. Mountain asana encourages balance and coordination by bringing awareness to the even distribution of weight on the feet and can be especially beneficial for those with flat feet. The asana facilitates a calm composure for many while also bringing about a state of mental awareness and stability.
