This is what your body is doing in tan­da­sa­na



The spine is in a neu­tral po­si­ti­on. The arms are ex­ten­ded and fully stre­ched down­wards. The hip is in neu­tral po­si­ti­on, knees are slight­ly bent and your an­kles are ro­ta­ting out­wards.

De­spi­te your fee­ling of I am just stan­ding and not doing much, this pose does en­ga­ge your mus­cles when done pro­per­ly. Your core keeps your upper body ex­ten­ding to­wards the sky, while hel­ping to pull your shoul­d­ers down­wards. Your lower body grounds with the ar­ches of your feet to sup­port your en­ti­re body.
