Standing Poses
The standing poses are elementary poses introduced first because the legs are the foundation for movement and action, and they need to be trained to make them firm and steady. One learns to distribute the weight when the arms are taken through various movements, without disturbing the pose. The standing poses are designed to first bring flexibility and then to make the body strong and steady.
