Lizard Pose
Utthan Pristhasana
How to
From a low lunge, walk the front foot to the outside of the front hand and lower onto the forearms, letting the hips sink toward the floor.
Benefits
- Deeply opens the hips and groin
- Stretches the hip flexors of the back leg
- Prepares the body for deeper hip-openers
Practice
Hold for 5-8 breaths per side, coming onto the fingertips instead of forearms for a gentler version.
