Standing Forward Fold (Uttanasana)

Walk feet forward to the top of the mat and hang the upper body over the thighs, optionally clasping opposite elbows.

Key points

  • Hinge from the hip creases rather than rounding the middle back
  • Keep knees softly bent to ease lower back tension
  • Allow the crown of the head and neck to hang completely relaxed

Common mistakes

Locking the knees rigidly and straining the cervical spine.
