    Tree Pose is a standing balancing pose that strengthens the legs and improves balance. To do it, stand with feet together and shift weight onto one foot while lifting the other foot and placing the sole against the inner thigh for balance. Gaze at a stationary object and repeat on the other side. Beginners can place their foot lower on the leg if needed and use a wall for support, while advanced practitioners can raise their arms overhead and even try it with eyes closed.
