As I mentioned a few weeks ago as part of my "yoga spring cleaning," I felt I needed to start learning a few new poses to add to my regime.
Since maintaining balance still challenges me, I felt that I should start incorporating the ygoa "Tree Pose." I have done it in the past - but not consistently - no reason why - except that maintaining balance is often difficult for me!
I soon found a youtube video on the Tree pose that is pretty good. Of course, there are many, I did not have time to watch them all. I like that this video covers the basics in under 3 minutes. Also, the video presents front and side views and has some arrow graphics to explain the alignment for which you should strive while holding the pose.
What I found lacking is that there's no explanation on exactly how long you should hold the pose or how many repetitions are recommended (although I tend to do most poses only once). Also, the video is produced by YogaSync TV - no individual instructor is named and from that perspective, it's a bit impersonal. I prefer videos associated with a particular person.
Overall, however, I do find this video to be helpful. Enjoy.
Best wishes for a yoga-filled week!
