All About Tadasana Yoga Pose, Steps, Benefits, and More

Tadasana, where tada means mountain and asana means seat or posture, is the asana that forms the basis of all standing asanas. Other names for it include "Mountain Pose" in English and "Samasthiti" in Sanskrit, which both refer to a steady and balanced stance.

Yoga's Tadasana is a terrific posture to start with and to end with. For example, the Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar) sequence starts and finishes with this yoga mountain pose.
