The Wide-Angle Seated Forward Bend, or Upavistha Konasana, is a standard posture that is often used to prepare the body for other seated forward bends, wide-angle poses and various twists. This is one of those yoga poses that looks quite easy to perform, yet, for the beginner, can be somewhat difficult since the knees have a tendency to lift off the ground as he or she bends forward into the stretch. Though the posture may not look right when this happens, it is completely acceptable, and you may want to use some additional support under your knees as you first begin employing this bend. Simply roll two towels, one for each leg, and place them under the knees before moving into the pose.
