Fotini Alexopoulou Personal trainer and Athens Trainers® associate along with our little friend Niki, will show easy but effective exercises to train and play. The girl tells her mom what profession she wants to follow when she grows up and her mother shows the corresponding pose in yoga.
Child:I love being outdoors …when I grow up I want to be a forester to be arround trees.
Mom:Have you ever thought how difficult it is to stand as still as a tree?
Stand with your feet hip width apart. Move your weight into your left foot and place the bottom of your right foot just below or above your left knee.Press your palms together at your heart and concentrate on a specific spot. Try to keep your balance like a tree in the wind. Count to 30 and repeat with the legs reversed.
Now you are in TREE POSE/VRKSASANA.
