Vrksasana is a standing asana that improves balance, focus and mental clarity. The name comes from the Sanskrit vrksa, meaning “tree,” and asana, meaning “pose.”
This asana requires the practitioner to stand on one leg with the other leg bent so the foot rests on the inside of the thigh. The hands are extended overhead with palms touching.
Vrksasana may also be referred to as tree pose in English.
