How To Do Tadasana?

To reap the maximum health incentives from any Yoga asana, it must be performed in a proper sequence. Following are the steps to perform Tadasana:

• Stand upright, keeping a distance of 2 inches between your feet
• Inhale and lift your arms in front, levelling up to your shoulders
• Lock the fingers of both hands together and then slowly rotate your wrist outwards
• Now inhale and lift your hands above the head
• While lifting your arms, also lift your heels off the ground, balancing your entire body weight on your toes
• Be in this position for 20 - 30 seconds or as long as you are comfortable
• Now slowly bring your heels down
• Exhale and release your fingers
• Now draw your arms down and return to the initial position
