No time to go to the gym? Do this 5 minutes easy yoga while standing in any corner of the house. – ..

News India Live, Digital Desk: In our busy lives, we often struggle the most with two things, one is our bad ‘posture’ and the other is our ‘disoriented mind’ (mental focus). Sitting bent over in front of the computer all day long and keeping the neck bent for hours with the mobile in hand… the result? Back pain, stiffness in shoulders and irritable nature.

Do you know that the solution to all this is very easy? So easy that you will not even need to lay a yoga mat for this. I am talking ‘Vrikshasana’ (Vrikshasana) Ki, which is also called ‘Tree Pose’ in English.

It’s not just an exercise, it’s a brain tonic
Often people think that yoga is just to make the body flexible. But the case of Vrikshasana is a little different. What happens when you try to stand on one leg? Your entire attention goes into handling the falling body. At that time, your mind leaves aside the tension here and there (what will happen tomorrow, what happened in the office) and focuses only on the “Present Moment”.

This is the moment when your mental health improves. This asana is no less than a meditation to reduce anxiety and stress.

How does this asana change your body?

1. Shoulders and back straight: It gives training to keep the spine straight. This is best for those who walk stooped.
2. Strong legs: Bearing the entire body weight on one leg makes the heels, knees and thighs strong as iron.
3. Neuromuscular Coordination: That means coordination between your brain and muscles improves.

How to do it correctly? (So ​​as not to fall!)
Balancing may seem difficult at first, so don’t be shy about leaning against a wall.

1. Stand straight: Keep weight equal on both legs (Tadasana).
2. Take position: Lift your right leg and rest it on the inner thigh of the left leg.
   • Note: Never keep your foot on the knee, this may cause injury to the knee. Place it either above or below the knee.
3. Hello Mudra: When balance is achieved, join hands near the chest or slowly move them above the head.
4. Keep an eye on: The secret of creating balance: Stare at a point or object on the wall in front of you. If you lose sight, you will fall.
5. Breaths: Keep breathing normally. Wait 30 seconds and then do it with the other leg.

a tip on the go
Yoga is not a competition. It’s okay if your feet wobble in the beginning. Just as a small plant gradually grows into a strong tree, you too will gradually learn to maintain balance. Include this in your routine today, both your body and mind will thank you!
