This is derived from two words \u2018vriksha\u2019, which means tree in Sanskrit, and \u2018asana\u2019, which means posture. This \u2018tree pose\u2019 dates back to ancient mythology, and there are in fact references of it in the Ramayana. Lord Ravana stood in vrikshasana for penance, praying to Lord Shiva for a boon, and the posture has been considered powerful ever since. Since vrikshasana is primarily a balancing posture, it aids in improving balance \u2013 both physical and emotional. Just as a tree is able to balance while staying firmly rooted, the posture aims to keep your body and mind from wandering and stay balanced while being in the moment. You\u2019ll find that your body is more centred from within, and it creates a sense of calm and equilibrium.\u00a0<\/p><h2><strong>How to do Vrikshasana or the Tree
