I need one student to come up here to act out the tree pose. Who can do the tree pose in front of the classmates? OK. Come up here. Be seated on the chair. You should do as you are told. You should folow my directions. Stand up. Raise your right foot and place it against your left thigh. Put your hands together. Raise your arms above your head. Try to hold it for 30 seconds. Repeat this with your left. Ok. Well done. Go back to your seat.
(Would you check the directions? Correct errors, please. Thank you.)
I need one student to come up here to do the tree pose. Which of you can do the tree pose in front of your classmates? OK. Come up here. Be seated on the chair. You should do as you are told.

(Only a couple of changes.)
Sure, let's check the directions and make any necessary corrections. Here's a breakdown of the instructions:
1. "Stand up." - This is the correct first step to start the Tree Pose.
2. "Raise your right foot and place it against your left thigh." - In the Tree Pose, the foot is actually placed on the inner side of the left leg, either above or below the knee. Placing the foot against the thigh might cause imbalance or discomfort. So, the correct instruction would be: "Raise your right foot and place it on the inner side of your left leg, either above or below the knee."
3. "Put your hands together." - This instruction is correct. In the Tree Pose, the hands are typically brought together in a prayer position in front of the chest.
4. "Raise your arms above your head." - This instruction is also correct. In the Tree Pose, after bringing the hands together, they are raised above the head to further enhance balance and alignment.
5. "Try to hold it for 30 seconds." - This instruction is correct. Holding the Tree Pose for a specific duration, such as 30 seconds, is a common way to challenge and work on one's balance and focus.
6. "Repeat this with your left." - This instruction is not necessary since the Tree Pose is typically done on one leg at a time. The pose can be repeated on the other leg if desired, but it's not required for the initial instruction.
So, the corrected instructions for the Tree Pose would be:
- Stand up.
- Raise your right foot and place it on the inner side of your left leg, either above or below the knee.
- Put your hands together in a prayer position in front of your chest.
- Raise your arms above your head.
- Try to hold the pose for 30 seconds.
After this, the student can be instructed to return to their seat.
