The Standing Mountain Pose, Tadasana, is often confused with Parvatasana, the grounded mountain. Tadasana is one of the best yoga asanas but it’s not as simple as it first appears. Practicing this yoga asana regularly every morning gives a good massage to our hands, back, spine and the whole body. This is the most recommended asana for increasing height as well.
