Utkatasana

Sitting in Utkatasana seems easy to hear and comfortable, but sitting in an imaginary chair can be a bit selective and that is exactly what we do in Utkatasana. Utkatasana literally means acute posture or a powerful posture. You have to show a little perseverance to stay longer in Utkatasana! Be sure to read its contradictions before committing an offense.

How to do Utkatasana

  • Stand straight with a gap between the two legs.
  • Spreading the arms in front of the palm towards the ground, elbows remain straight. Gently bend the pelvis down as if you are sitting in an imaginary chair.
  • Stay in the same position. To feel good in Utkatasana, imagine that you are reading a newspaper or typing on a laptop while sitting.
  • Make sure that your hands are parallel to the ground.
  • Sit straight while stretching the spine with reflexes.
  • Keep breathing and enjoy the national and international news by turning the pages of the newspaper.
  • Slowly sit in the chair and down, but make sure that your knees do not go beyond your fingers.
  • Keep going down slowly and then sit in Sukhasana. If you want, you can lie on your back, and relax.

As instructed by Sri Yoga expert: Make it easy to smile, it will be easy to remain in the posture. It is a good idea to do a chair posture (hereafter) after all standing postures. Then you can do posture (posture) posture or lying posture.
