Utthanpad asana is a modern-day yoga pose, that finds mention in the 20th century classical texts. It leads to intense stretching of the legs. The asana gets the name from the Sanskrit terms \u2018uttana\u2019 which means \u2018intense stretch\u2019, \u2018pada\u2019 means feet or legs, and \u2018asana\u2019 meaning posture. You can do this asana, after you have sufficiently warmed up the body with other asanas. This is one of the poses, or asanas, which people of all age groups can do.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
