In this tutorial, you will learn all about forward fold, or Utanasana in sanskrit. This is a basic yoga pose found in many different types of yoga classes and has many different ways you can practice. Here, Jennifer talks about "best practices" you can do to help keep your back and hamstrings safe and pain free.
Key points to remember:
1) Be sure to soften your knees on the way down
2) Let the spine round naturally--try not to force a flat back and put pressure on the lower vertebrae
3) Your knees are as bent as they need to be to be comfortable
4) Keep drawing your belly button to spine (to engage your abdominal muscles)
5) Relax your neck
Remember, always keep your stomach muscles engaged and I never like the swan dive or flat back entrance or exit from this pose --especially if you have a sensitive low back. This pose helps to open up the back body and creates length in the hamstrings, calves and back.
