Tadasana Mountain Thursday

Do you ever feel guilty when you don't find time to make it to the gym? Stop it! You don't have to spend hours at the gym lifting weights to feel strong. Look within yourself and find the strength of a mountain. Stand tall, strong and unwavering in Tadasana pose (for more on this yoga pose click here). Focus on your breath, as you take a big inhale in from your belly and exhale slowly through your nose. Use this time as a standing meditation. The intention of meditation is not to have a blank mind, but to be mindful of the present. As you stand in mountain pose, let go of all your racing thoughts and concentrate in singularity on your breath. Feel the power of your feet root down into the ground, your quads engaged as you grow tall from the crown of your head. You are powerful. You are strong. Stand tall, strong and unwavering in Tadasana for atleast 1 minute today, then go have a cupcake to celebrate your strength!
