Uttanasana For Beginners and its Benefits – by – Rushi


Introduction

Uttanasana is a yogasana which is also known as forward bending in standing position. Technically it is an intense stretch pose.

The name comes from the Sanskrit words

Uttana (उत्तान; uttāna) = “intense stretch” or “straight” or “stretched”, and Asana (आसन; āsana) meaning “posture” or “seat”.

 

How to do:

Try to stand in standard still position by putting your legs together with out bending knees and remember that spine should be erect.
