Samasthiti or the Tadasana (Mountain Pose) is one of the most religious yoga poses and is actually derived from a popular book about yoga postures in the old days. Samasthiti is basically a Sanskrit word which means ‘limitation of possessions’. Experts say that this posture is the way of connecting ourselves with the line of gravity existing inside. This particular yoga posture is actually not a hard one at all.

Rather, it is one of the most convenient yoga postures ever and you don’t require much of a practice to master this magnificent pose. The trick is to maintain the connection with inner gravity which can also be said to be the mind-body connection. Unless and until we are able to secure that connection, this posture will not do us any good.

Samasthiti is one of those yoga poses through which we can attain stability, comfort, and stillness. This yoga posture will relax our mind and our body from the core which is essential before randomly jumping in your office clothes or school uniform. It has been said long ago that the concept of this posture will restore the peace in this world.
