How to Do Tulasana (Scale Pose)
Tulasana, also known as the Scale Pose, is a strengthening yoga posture that improves balance, core stability, and arm strength. Follow these steps to practice it correctly:
Steps to Perform Tulasana (Tolasana)
- Begin by sitting in Dandasana (Staff Pose) with your legs extended straight in front of you.
- Slowly bend your knees and cross your legs into a comfortable seated position like Sukhasana (Easy Pose).
- Inhale deeply and place both hands on the floor beside your hips, one at a time (you may start with the right hand).
- Press your palms firmly into the ground and engage your arms to support your body weight.
- As you exhale, lift your entire body off the floor using your arms by keeping your elbows straight.
- Maintain the posture with your spine slightly forward but straight, and your face looking ahead.
- Hold the pose for 2-3 breaths. Slowly exhale, lower your body back down, and release your hands.
- Extend your legs back into Dandasana.
- Repeat the pose 3-4 times.
