Namaskarasana Mountain Pose

1. Stand in the Mountain Pose (Tadasana), with your arms at your sides.

2. Exhale and squat down into a deep squat with your feet slightly wider than hip-distance apart. Your toes should point outward.

3. Bring your upper arms to the inside of your knees and press your palms together in prayer position (Anjali Mudra) at the center of your chest.

4. Use your elbows to gently push your knees outward, deepening the stretch in your inner thighs.

5. Keep your spine straight and your chest lifted, engaging the core to maintain balance.

6. Breathe deeply and hold the pose, focusing on the stretch and balance.

7. After holding the pose, inhale to release and straighten the legs back into Tadasana or continue on to the next pose in your sequence.
