Uttanasana

Getting into Uttanasana

From standing with arms overhead, exhale and hinge forward from your hip joints, not your lower back, folding your torso down over your legs. Let your hands come to the floor beside your feet, or hold opposite elbows if the floor is out of reach. Keep a soft bend in the knees if your hamstrings are tight, rather than rounding the spine to force your hands down.
