Extended Hand-To-Big-Toe Pose (Utthita Hasta Padangustasana) is an advanced standing balancing pose. It strengthens the legs and ankles, stretches the backs of the legs, and improves sense of balance. Always warm-up well before practicing this pose. Actively press your extended leg (big toe) into the hand to support balance during this pose. Practice with caution and maybe wall support when experiencing ankle or low back injuries. Use yoga strap around extended leg to modify until flexibility improves. Practice as Reclined Extended Hand-To-Big-Toe as a modified, beginner-friendly version.
