Tree Pose
Tree pose is single-leg balance with the opposite foot on the calf or inner thigh—never on the knee—training ankle stability and hip control with a quiet standing meditation. Eyes fixed on one point reduce sway.

Press foot and leg together; hands at heart or overhead. Hold thirty to sixty seconds per side daily or in warm-ups.
Closing eyes increases difficulty once basics are solid.
