Introduction to Yoga ll: Tree Pose and Opening the Hips - Beginners Practice Series #2

Each of the poses conspire against us to knock us off our center. Our aim is to return to center again and again, as efficiently as possible. In this practice for beginners, you’ll discover three different ways to practice Tree Pose and get relaxed about wobbling your way to balance and grace. The key is creating stability at the center and learning to reach away from that still point. Hip openers, self-massage, conscious breathing, and a “pinch and zoom” technique help prepare the body and the mind for the surprising ease that comes when we strike a balance.
