Start standing with your hands on your hips. Exhale to hinge from the hips and bend forward. Think about creating as much length as possible from your hips to your head.
Release your fingertips toward the ground or your blocks.
Root down into the four corners of your feet.
Release the back of your head and neck.
On inhales, feel your torso lengthen, and on exhales, feel your chest reach toward your toes.
Stay in uttanasana for up to one minute.
To exit the pose, return your hands to your hips and slowly lift up, keeping the length in the front and back of your torso.
