The Seated Mountain Pose, Parvatasana, is often confused with Tadasana, the standing mountain. Parvatasana is a great yoga asana but it’s not as easy as it first appears. Practicing this yoga asana regularly every morning gives a good massage to our hands, back, spine and the whole body. If your routine includes lengthy Mountain Poses and you have difficulty, drop into the seated version.
