Yoga Tips: Prep Moves for Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana
✨ Yoga Tips | Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana (Extended Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose) Prep Moves ✨
Even Moon, a seasoned Ashtanga teacher from South Korea, finds Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana frustrating⁉️ Don't worry! In this video, Moon and I walk you through the key preparatory positions so you can enter this pose with more ease and stability! 💪
Four Key Points
1. Stabilize Your Standing Leg
Keep your standing leg straight -- don't let it bend too much, as this throws off your balance.
2. Ground Your Big Toe
Press your big toe firmly into the floor. Don't let it lift up without you noticing.
3. Don't Round Your Back
When lifting your leg, don't rush. Keep your back straight first -- that's what creates stability.
4. Lift Your Chest
Remember to go chest up, then breathe.
