Utthita Hasta Padangustasana is an Asana. It is translated as Extended Hand to Big Toe Pose from Sanskrit.
The name of this pose comes from "utthita" meaning "extended", "hasta" meaning "hand", "pada" meaning "leg" or "foot", "angusta" meaning "big toe", and "asana" meaning "posture" or "seat".
Benefits and Cautions
This pose has many benefits, such as: strengthening of the standing leg, stretching of the hamstrings and inner hip of the extended leg, improving balance and concentration.
Practice this pose with caution if you are pregnant, have hamstring and hip injuries, or ankle injuries.
