2 UTKATASANA
Chair Pose (also Fierce Pose)
Come to Tadasana (Mountain Pose). Inhale, and
raise your arms perpendicular to the floor with
palms facing inward. Exhale, and bend your knees
to come into Utkatasana, taking your thighs as
close to parallel with the floor as possible. Allow
your weight to rest in your heels. Become aware
of your strength, imagining your energy beaming
out through your fingertips. With each inhalation
and exhalation, say:
“My body is fierce
and fabulous.”
