In this concise instructional segment, the instructor demonstrates how to guide beginners through Vrikshasana (tree pose). The cue sequence emphasizes grounding the standing foot by spreading the toes, pressing through the heel, and evenly distributing weight across the foot’s four corners. The learner is then instructed to bend the opposite knee and place the foot on the standing leg, optionally raising the arms overhead. For those seeking a greater challenge, the teacher suggests slowly lifting the foot higher onto the leg to increase balance difficulty. The video concludes with a call‑to‑action encouraging viewers to follow for more yoga tips.

This is how I teach Vrikshasana or tree pose to people who are building on this posture. Normal people. Spread the toes wide, ground down through the earth on the left foot, press down through your heel and evenly distribute the weight on all four corners of the foot. Now from here, let the weight come into that left foot, bend your right foot and bring it onto your left leg. You can leave your feet just like this and raise your arms to the sky if you'd like. If you want to challenge yourself in this balance, you can go ahead and slowly start to bring that foot onto the leg. You want more yoga tips, make sure that you light up the follow button.
