Yoga setup

Mountain at wall

Practice steady standing with optional support.

Set up

Use props first. Skip or choose a gentler option when setup does not feel steady.

  1. 01Stand near a wall with feet hip-width apart.
  2. 02Keep one hand on the wall or a chair if balance is uncertain.
  3. 03Let the arms rest by the sides.

Cues

Stay for four to eight natural breaths.

  1. 01Press evenly through both feet without locking the knees.
  2. 02Let the shoulders settle and the crown of the head lift gently.
  3. 03Keep the gaze steady on one point.

Modifications

Pick the option that makes the position steadier and smaller.

Chair version

Sit tall near the front of a chair and place both feet flat instead of standing.

Wider stance

Step the feet a little wider if the narrow stance feels unstable.
