Chair Pose (Utkatasana)

Chair Pose
(Utkatasana)

Stand in Mountain Pose.
Feet together.
Hands aside.
navel in.
Tuck your tailbone under. 
Stand nice and tall.

Bring your hands on your waist.
Bend your knees gently.
Straight your back.

Slowly hip down as pressing down your feet onto mat.
Hands forward to balance your body.

You can stand hip apart if it is more comfortable for you.

More Challenging.
Once you are ready,  heels off the mat.
This is beneficial to the arms, legs, core, and cardio vascular system.

Reach your arms above.
Shoulders sink down.
It you have much pain on your knees,
Bend little bit.

Stay in the pose with few more breaths.

You can palms together.

You can palms facing together, parellel to each other.

Palms together in front of your chest.
Focus on your body.

Right elbow onto your left thigh.
Left shoulders and chest turn and open big to ceiling.
Look up.

Come back and do same to other side.

Slowly heels down. 
Stand nice and tall.
Extend your body.

Back to Mountain Pose.
