A note on safety
Use a wall for support; never press the foot against the side of the knee. This is general guidance, not medical advice. A qualified teacher can adapt this pose to your body, which is exactly what we do in our private sessions at home in Doha.
FAQ
How do I stop wobbling in Tree Pose?
Fix your eyes on one still point, breathe slowly, and start with the foot lower on the leg. Balance improves fast.
