Standing Forward Bend Uttanasana

Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Standing Forward Bend Uttanasana

Exhale as you bend forward at the hips, lengthening the front of your torso and moving your torso and head towards the floor.
Keep your knees straight, but not locked, and let your hands rest on the floor, your ankles, or behind your calves, depending on your flexibility.
Hold this pose for a few breaths, allowing your head to hang freely and your neck to relax, while you feel the stretch in your hamstrings and back.
To exit the pose, inhale as you lift your torso up and return to the standing position, making sure to lift from your hips and not your lower back.
