Vrikshasana Yoga Asana
Vrikshasana Yoga Asana:
Vrikshasana is one of the standing basic yoga postures. Furthermore, in Hinduism, this pose was used as a method of austerity, or Tapasya, by Sages. A man executing a stance similar to Vrikshasana is seen in an old rock temple at Mamallapuram dating from the seventh century CE. As a result, it is clear that this is an old yoga posture.
