Forward fold, or uttanasana, has incredible benefits for the body and mind - calming, streches hips/hamstrings/calves while strengthening thighs and knees.
Beginners Tip:
As a beginner, it might be hard to increase the stretch. To make it easier, gently bend your knees, and imagine the sacrum sinking deep into the back part of the pelvis. Now, decrease the distance between your tailbone and the p***s. As you feel the resistance, push the top part of your thighs back and press your heels down. Straighten your knees. But be sure you don’t lock your knees when you straighten them.
Modifications: -Place yoga blocks under the hands.
Additional benefits: -This bend gives your digestive organs a good massage, thereby improving digestion.
-Relieves tension in the spine, neck, and back.
-Activates the abdominal muscles.
-Therapeutic for infertility, osteoporosis, and sinusitis.
