Calm down with Eka Pada Pranamasana - Treepose

One legged prayer pose - Treepose, here outside my hut in Palolem, Goa

This asana sooths the nervous symstem and gives balance. Keep your Drishti (where you se) on one point or gaze in front of you. Even if you can't get your foot all the way up, it doesn't matter, just to stand on one leg in any kind of way, gives you benefits for balance and focus. 

Like most other asanas this is also a strengthening asana. You gain balance, foucus, consentration and calmes the mind, but also you stand on your one foot with all your weight, making you strengthen the leg, ankle and foot muscles. Gip and grion operner are added when you can get your fot all the way up.

You can also use this asana while you feeling totally pissed of. To calm down, go to a quite place and practice this asana. To practice this, you have to calm your mind. If not, you are simply not able to stand on one leg. 

Breath; normal yoga breathing troughout the practice.
