How To Do an Uttanasana Yoga Pose

The Uttanasana yoga pose is a standing forward fold that helps stretch the hamstrings, calves, and back. It also helps relieve stress and anxiety.

- Stand with your feet hip-width apart.

- Inhale and raise your arms overhead.

- Exhale and bend forward from your hips, keeping your knees slightly bent.

- Place your palms flat on the floor in front of you, shoulder-width apart.

- Gently press your palms into the floor to lift your chest and straighten your back.

- Hold the pose for 5-10 breaths.

- To come out of the pose, inhale and slowly roll up to standing.

Here are some tips for performing the Uttanasana yoga pose:

- Keep your knees slightly bent to protect your lower back.

- If you can't reach the floor with your hands, place them on blocks or chairs.

- Press your palms firmly into the floor to help lift your chest and straighten your back.

- Don't overstretch. Go only as far as you can comfortably.

- Hold the pose for 5-10 breaths or for as long as you feel comfortable.
