beginner level

• Pubic bone toward yourself
• Shoulders away from the ears
• Engage the abdomen and draw the lower ribs inward
• The knee of the bent leg pointing sideways
• Hips in line with the shoulders
• Knee cup of the supporting leg upward

Vriksasana improves balance, increases stability, strengthens the leg muscles, and fortifies the spine. It is important not to place the foot of the bent leg on the knee of the supporting leg to avoid injury to the knee joint.
