Uttanasana
Uttanasana, or Forward Bend Pose, is a standing yoga posture that involves bending forward from a standing position. In this pose, the feet are hip-width apart, and the body folds at the hips, allowing the head and torso to hang towards the ground. This position stretches the hamstrings, calves, and spine while promoting relaxation.
Practicing Uttanasana can help improve flexibility and relieve tension in the back and neck. It also encourages blood flow to the brain, which may enhance focus and reduce stress. This pose is often included in yoga sequences for its calming and restorative benefits.
