“Upavishtha” means seated,“kona” means angle, “asana”means pose.The seated wide-angle posture is excellent to stretch and open up the hips, inner thighs, back hamstring and shoulders.The extreme forward bend helps with overall flexibility.

Steps to practice Upavashithakonasana:

Sit on the mat with your legs stretched in front of you. Stretch your toes away from your body. Inhale and tuck in your pelvis and lift your chest up from your waist. Feel your spine being stretched up. Now spread your leg.They should not be very wide,just at your shoulder angle.Reach forward and hold on to the soles of your feet from the outside. Remember that you have to stretch your arms out and grab the soles from just at the base of your little toe.Your toes should be pointing away from your body.Inhale and suck in your lower belly .Do not round your back nor should there be an arch in it. Your sitting bones should be firmly on the floor.Exhale and bend forward from your waist and gently slide your chest down. Once you are here,you can spread your legs as wide as you can and try and touch your chin on the floor.Stay there for 5 breaths and come back.
