Learn how to do Yoga Halfway Lift, known in Sanskrit as Ardha Uttanasana (Standing Half Forward Bend), in this 3-minute video tutorial with YinWave founder Chris Abay.

A familiar posture in Sun Salutations, Hatha yoga and Vinyasa flow, Halfway Lift connects your standing forward fold with the next movement. It encourages length through the spine and awareness of how you move with your breath.

Explore how to hinge from your hips, position your hands and keep your neck in line with your spine. Adapt the posture by softening your knees or placing your hands on your shins or yoga blocks to suit your range of movement.

Ideal for beginners learning Ardha Uttanasana and anyone refreshing their technique. Focus on comfortable spinal length and steady breathing rather than forcing your legs straight or reaching the floor.
