The Tree Pose (Vrikshasan)
Tree pose is a very organic pose to perform.
You have to stand tall like a tree to perform this pose and arms by your side. Bend the right leg at the knee, raise the right thigh and bring the sole of the right foot as high up the inside of the left thigh as possible. Balance yourself on the left foot. Now raise both arms over the head keeping the elbow unbent and join your palms. Hold the posture while breathing gently through the nostrils for about 10 complete breaths. Lower the arms and right leg and return to standing position. Repeat the same with opposite leg after few minutes.

Get a little creative and give yourself a break. Take an A4 size sheet and draw a black hole. Stand five feet away from the paper and now concentrate on the hole. You will see all your tensions going away and that black hole absorbing it up. It really works.
The Hero Pose (Virasana)
The Hero Pose is as cool as it sounds. The knees, ankles and toes should touch the ground, i.e a kneeling position. You are required to sit on the heels and place palms on the knees. Keep your spine erect and breath deeply. Now, you have to bring your left foot beside the right knee keeping the sole of the foot flat on the floor. Place your left elbow on the left knee and now rest chin on your left hand. Right hand should rest on the right thigh, properly tuck the toes of the right foot under. The right knee should remain in contact with the floor. The weight has to be transferred onto the right heel. Now, concentrate on a point in front of you, fix it. After fixing your focus, breathing will remain normal. You can stay in the hero pose for as long as you are comfortable. Repeat it on the other side.
