Utkatasana<\/strong><\/p>\n

Utkatasana, the word comes from the Sanskrit word \u201cUtkata\u201d<\/strong> which means \u201cChair\u201d<\/strong> and \u201casana\u201d<\/strong> which means \u201cPose\u201d<\/strong>. Sitting on a real chair is quite easy, but, sitting on an imaginary chair is quite difficult. And, that is what the Chair pose is all about. It is a very intensive pose, and you need a lot of grit and determination to stay in that pose.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How To Do It?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2981 Stand in Samsthiti and place your feet inner-hip width distance apart or together with all toes facing forward.
\n\u2981 As you breath in raise your arms overhead, palms facing each other or palms together.
\n\u2981 Bend the knees and sit on an imaginary chair, so most of your weight is in your heels. Keep your knees over your feet. Make sure your thighs get parallel with ground if possible.
\n\u2981 You can lean forward slightly. If you were to see your reflection, the line of your torso and the line of your thighs would approximately create a right angle.
\n\u2981 Draw the shoulder blades toward each other and then down, keeping the shoulders away from the ears.
\n\u2981 Lengthen through your spine to engage your lower back to stay long.
\n\u2981 Hold this posture according your comfortable capacity, then as you breathe in straiten your knees and as you breathe out release your arms.
\n\u2981 Stand in the Tadasana positions<\/a><\/strong> for few deep breaths and get relax.<\/p>\n
