In uttanasana, let your head hang heavy. This means you’ll probably be looking at your kneecaps. I have to remind myself to do this almost every time I do this pose. It’s amazing how strong the urge is look at your toes, thereby cranking your neck, and how much better the pose feels when you don’t.
Carry on!
