Earlier, in another post, the Ministry of AYUSH gave information about the importance of yoga and benefits of Tadasana. “Yoga is not about doing difficult asanas. It is about easy and effortless movements that keep our body flexible. As we age, these yoga asanas should be a part of our everyday life. Tadasana or Mountain Pose is one of the most important beginner asanas of yoga. It gives a gentle stretch to the entire body and improves the body posture,” the ministry said in the post.
