If there were a secret code to spot a yogi in a crowded room, one of the giveaways would be someone casually hanging out in Tree pose. You know the look: the sole of one foot glued to the inner leg, maybe steady, maybe wobbly. Classic Vrksasana.

Every day, I watch my students unlock the craziest arm balances and inversions at Yogi Flight School. They go from “WTF, that’s absurd” to “I just did that!”, and it’s incredible to witness.
