Uttanasana Yoga Pose

Sanskrit, “ut” means intense, “tan” means to stretch or extend and “asana” means pose. In English, we call this pose the Standing Forward Bend. But in any language, this incredibly beneficial posture is both therapeutic and revitalizing.

* First of all, you need to stand in the Tadasana posture (mountain pose).

* Now, start inhaling and raise your arms, taking them over your head.

* As you exhale, start bending your hips.

* Bring your arms forward and then take them down, along with the torso, so they are touching the floor.

* Now, take your hands behind your legs and join them together.

* Remain in the position for 7-8 breaths.

* Now, bring your hands in the front and start twisting your torso upwards, pulling yourself.

* Keep your head hanging down till you are completely straight.

* Repeat the procedure 4-5 times.
