Uttanasana - Forward Fold
The Sanskrit word uttanasana can be broken down. Ut means intense, powerful, and deliberate. The verb tan means to stretch, extend, and lengthen. It’s a stretch of the back body and should release the tension in your back and neck. Hang there like a “rag doll” and feel your hamstrings stretch and lengthen. Allow gravity to pull your upper body while your tailbone lifts and feel your back become long and loose.
