Asanas In Standing Position

Standing erect is known as Danda-Sthiti. Stand with a straight neck, back, and low back. Place both hands straight with palms touching your thighs. Heels and great toes should touch each other. Look straight ahead and keep on breathing normally.

See general instructions about yoga practice.

 
Tadasana
Poses in Standing Position 1
Stand erect with feet touching each other and hands near thighs. Inhale, raise your arms slowly up above your head, and stretch your hands upwards. Your arms will now touch your ears. Next, lift your heels standing on your toes and stretch your entire body upwards. Look ahead with a steady gaze and hold on breathing normally (mountain pose). While exhaling, get your heels down to the floor and bring your hands to their original position.
 
Ardhakatichakrasana
Poses in Standing Position 2
Stand erect. While inhaling, raise your right hand above your head till your arm touches the ear. The right palm should face leftwards. Bend slowly to your left, slide your left palm down as far as possible along the left leg. Exhale as you bend. Do not bend your right elbow. Maintain this position for some time while breathing normally. Straighten up slowly and bring down right hand. Repeat the asana on your left side.
 
Ardhachakrasana
Poses in Standing Position 3
Stand erect with some distance between your legs. Support yourself by keeping palms on the lower back with fingers pointing forward. While inhaling, bend backward at the lumbar region. Bend back your neck and let your head hang free. Hold on for some time, breathing normally in this half-wheel position. Inhale and come up while supporting your back with your hands. Bring legs together and return to the original position.
 
Padahastasana
Poses in Standing Position 4
Stand erect with feet a little apart. Inhale and take both your hands above your head and hold them straight up. While exhaling, bend forwards at your waist and try to place palms flat on the ground. Try to touch knees with your head by pulling abdominal muscles in. Do not bend knees. Hold on breathing normally for some time and return slowly to the original position.
 
Trikonasana
Poses in Standing Position 5
Place your right foot towards your right as far away as you can. Raise both hands away from your body and hold them parallel to the ground. While inhaling, bend from your waist to your right till your right fingers reach the right ankle. Stretch your left hand upwards, turn your neck and look up to your left fingers. Hold on for some time, breathing normally, and return to the original position in reverse order. Relax for a while and repeat the asana on the left side.
 
Veerbhadrasana
Poses in Standing Position 6
Stand with both feet together. Move your left leg to your left and place your feet as far away as possible. Turn your left foot by 90 degrees and rotate your body to the left. Support yourself with a firmly placed right foot. Hold both hands in namaskara position (one palm over the other with outstretched fingers) and raise them. Bend your left knee at 90 degrees, placing it over your left foot while maintaining your right leg straight. Bend backward to take back your hands to make an arch comprising hands, neck, back, and right leg. Look upwards and hold on for some time, breathing normally. Return to the original position in reverse order. Relax for a while and repeat the asana on the other side.

Follow up the asana with ardhachakrasana to reduce back-strain.
