Mountain Pose (Tadasana) and/or Star Pose (Tarasana)

Davidson says these poses can help you activate a confident energy.

  • As you inhale, lift your shoulders up. As you exhale, allow them to roll back and drop down your back.
  • As your feet ground into the earth, Davidson says to rise up and lengthening your spine. "This is another great pose to pause in, notice the subtle effects of other poses, and/or reconnect with your original intention."
  • Hold this pose for 30 seconds.
  • After 30 seconds, extend your arms at 45-degree angles for Star Pose and step your feet out wider than your hips — feel your limbs reaching in all different directions, taking the shape of a star.
  • Davidson says the simple act of reaching your arms overhead increases energy and adds an uplifting effect.
