How to do:
- Begin the posture with the mountain pose, wherein the legs are straight, hands at the sides, back straight, and thigh muscles firm.
- Lift the right foot, with the knee out.
- Place the right foot on the left inner thigh in a position where it feels comfortable.
- Press the hands together above the head.
- Gaze at a particular point about 5 feet away.
- Hold the position for 30 seconds to a minute.
- Return the hands to the chest and then lower the right leg.
- Repeat it on the left leg.
Benefits: Improves balance and concentration; strengthens the thigh muscles, calves, and ankles whilst stretching the legs and the chest
Caution: If your kid gets unsteady in the beginning while trying to hold their posture, you may make them stand with their back against a wall.
