Utkatasana

Utkatasana. Chair Pose. Yogini. Greek goddess, classical artistic yoga on wet marble

Utkatasana - Chair Pose

The feet root firmly as the knees bend and the arms rise, the body sitting back as if into an invisible chair. Keep the weight in the heels and the spine long. Soften the shoulders even as the legs work.

Muscles: quadriceps, gluteus maximus, erector spinae, deltoids, transverse abdominis.
Chair Pose builds heat, strength, and steady attention in the midst of effort.
