Utthanasan (Squat and Rise Pose)


Stand up straight with your feet about three feet apart, with toes pointing out.
Hold your hands in a prayer pose in the middle of your chest.
Keeping your spine straight, bend at the knees and lower yourself until your buttocks are only inches from the floor.
Slowly rise to a standing position.
Repeat as desired.

Benefits:
Strengthens and tones muscles in the knees, legs, middle back and buttocks.
Increases circulation in the legs and pelvic region.
Stretches buttocks and back muscles.
Increases balance and concentration.
Opens the pelvic region for easier delivery.
