How To Do Yoga Uttanasana to Arthritis Stretch Forward Bend
- 8 years ago
Uttanasana posture increases the flexibility in the posterior side of body. When hinging from the hips, engage the muscles in the front of the body, especially the core muscles, by drawing the navel into spine. This will enable a greater release in the hamstrings, calves and back.
A healthy forward bend uses elongation of the leg muscles, relaxation of the back muscles and support of the pelvic floor to go deeper in the posture. Discover this technique in a long passive stretch to release the back and hamstring muscles. Then apply this newly found flexibility in the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series.
