Mountain Pose (Tadasana) - Yoga With Adriene

Mountain Pose is a basic standing posture that is a great foundation for many asanas. It creates space in the spine allowing the body to work more efficiently and with more ease. Try Tadasana and let me know what you think!

I cherish these original older videos from Adriene. I started watching her almost right at the beginning and this space is nostalgic for me now 😍🥹🙏🏼

[AkshaySharmaakkiikka]

Your videos are not like the typical yoga videos on youtube qhere they just tell you how to physically "do" a posture...but you express a lot of knowledge about the more significant inner body and unseen mental aspects of the posture...your video of tadasan is 12mins long and still is not boring at all and has alot to say....deep knowledge is always welcomed. ..thanks Adrien😘

I've been going through these, practicing one daily and it's amazing how studying the asanas like this give a brand new perspective! There are details I've never realized - it's given new meaning, confidence and ease to each that I've practiced so far. You are so enjoyable and hilarious to work with, thank you for creating these - they have and continue to be so valuable Adriene!

Subtle body movement is the cherry on top. The yummy dance of awareness! Subtle is strong - I love what you share Alan.

Hey there pal, this series is instructional. The Foundations Of Yoga breaks down each individual pose and offers guidance on alignment, modification and nuance. It is pretty chatty. So- try some of our sequences for less talk and more walk- OR- try our completely silent series! Love to you!

[yogawithadriene]

Yes, with practice I did notice more steadiness- absolutely. I also noticed when I was connecting to the earth more - for stability which was freeing up my movement often in the upper body. I shall now play with this again- thank you. Also- check out the Samasthiti video. I love playing with that and feel like it fits into this conversation as well.

ROOT 🌳 | April 18, 2023 | Part 2 - This is so perfect because I'm in Colorado right now for work and every time I do a mountain pose I'm channeling those majestic mountains! Mountain pose has served my posture so well in the last four years of doing daily yoga with Adriene! 🙏

What an amazing woman! She is so great for sharing all her knowledge and practice with everyone. I love her, but better still it’s because of her that I am starting to love myself. And that is an amazing gift. To give to a stranger! I’m sure I’m not the only person who has been gifted thus!
Can we make Adrienne our new world leader please!? ❤❤❤

[jamiemurray]

Holy cats! This was my very first time doing any sort of yoga, ever.
I stand for almost all of my work day, and my feet hurt constantly. Doing thus mountain pose, I was aware for the first time in my life (I'm 60, btw) that my weight is not evenly distributed on those 4 corners of my feet. When I followed your instruction, my feet no longer hurt!
What a lifesaver this was!! Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart(and from the bottom of my feet!)

I am so thankful for your Foundations of Yoga playlist! I just started 30 Days of Yoga as a total beginner recently and was a bit "Whoa slow down what are we doing now?" These videos are a tremendous help! I've only just begun my yoga journey but your videos have saved me many times already. Thank you for holding my hand through this!

[yogawithadriene]

We deserve to feel good and grounded. In my opinion, Yoga is an fabulous tool. So, Yayess! Relaxed and grounded. Keep listening!

A very early Adriene! So nice to see the begining videos.

[yogawithadriene]

Good question Alan! It is possible, anything is possible! I sometimes soften my gaze so soft that my eyes close for a bit in poses- I throw myself off but come back to center again. Keep it playful and curious- which you are! So, yes, give it a try- build it into the practice! I once took classes where the teacher encouraged us to keep eyes closed for the practice. It was challenging! And awesome. "See feeling-ly" :-) Love, A

Yoga blocks for everyone 🤣 hilarious !!! she always manages to make me smile if not giggle during the practice ... sometimes I stop the video and call my kids to come over and watch the joke... Gracias Adriene

[yogawithadriene]

So good to hear! Welcome to the family! We are shooting some back stuff today- expect it soon! Keep in touch!

[sannevander]

I felt so relaxed and aware of my body while doing this! Thank you!

[SorenS_]

I love that I can find a tutorial series that feels personal and welcoming, because you're being you and not doing a presentation. Lots of youtubers nowadays have this "actor" feel to them, and your silly tangents and side comments makes me feel like it's really Adriene that's talking to me, not just a yoga instructor. Thanks for helping bring yoga into my life in a way that feels comfy and organic.

[lisasoehn]

I love the attention you give to details. Great pose for the feet as well as stress and sciatica. It wakes me up too!

[yogawithadriene]

Hi! My real answer is that a yoga session is as long or a short as you want it to be. Sometimes your yoga may just be standing up tall in line at the grocery store and becoming aware of your breath. However, in a public yoga class, sessions are typically range from 1hr to 1hr 15min, or even 90 min. Here, the Foundations of Yoga series offers a pose a week but I encourage you to try and link some of the foundational poses together on your own. Find what feels good, create space and BREATHE. <3
