Mountain Pose, or Tadasana, is a foundational yoga pose. In this standing position, you stand tall with feet together, shoulders relaxed, and arms at your sides. It promotes good posture, body awareness, and balance. The pose encourages a sense of stability and inner strength, making it a starting point for many yoga sequences. Mountain Pose is often used for grounding and finding your center in a yoga practice.
