How to Do the Tree Pose Correctly in Postpartum

Let’s reset your Tree Pose to help you truly engage the core, pelvic floor and hips in this powerful yoga pose.

Tree Pose, love it or fear it?

This challenging standing asana is about connection, posture and balance NOT competition, but it can sometimes feel like we have “something to prove” in positioning the foot as high on the standing leg as possible.  

Let’s ⚡️R E S E T your Tree Pose to really activate your core and build hip strength!⁠⁠

Tree pose (Vrksasana in Sanskrit) focuses on balance and hip-core integration. When arms are extended overhead, the work on the upper body, and increased balance demand, is also substantial.

When at home, following along with a video or in a group yoga class, we may be tempted to mimic another person’s Tree Pose and focus on placing the foot as high as possible and extending arms fully, regardless of hip and leg positioning. This can often causes us to compromise the pose and not get the hip, core and pelvic floor benefits of Tree Pose we could enjoy with better foot placement and core activation.
