Step-by-step instructions

  1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart or together, toes pointing forward and weight spread evenly across both feet.

  2. Lift and spread your toes, then set them down and ground through all four corners of each foot to feel steady through the ankles.

  3. Engage your thighs gently, lengthen your tailbone down, and stack your hips over your ankles and shoulders over your hips.

  4. Let your arms rest alongside your body with palms facing forward, drawing the shoulders down and back and lifting the crown of the head tall.

  5. Soften your gaze forward and take slow, even breaths, feeling grounded and upright like a steady mountain.

  6. Hold for 5 to 10 breaths, staying tall and balanced throughout.
