The standing postures are used to build a foundation of strength and balance in the body. The poses can be as simple or as complicated as you require, but they are fundamentally about creating stability in the body to support all other movements.
As the mind and the body follow each other, these postures can also be used as a psychological tool to build mental strength and stability.
Try to make sure you actively engage the muscles and work on the poses that you find difficult.
