    Extended Hand-To-Big-Toe Pose is done from Mountain Pose by bringing one knee toward the belly while reaching the opposite arm inside the thigh to hold the foot. The front thigh of the standing leg is engaged to help straighten and extend the bent leg forward or to the side if balanced, while breathing steadily for 30 seconds. The pose is then repeated on the other side.

    Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana

    Extended Hand-To-Big-Toe Pose: Step-by-Step


    Instructions
    From Tadasana, bring your left knee toward your belly.
    Reach your left arm inside the thigh, cross it over the front ankle, and hold the
    outside of your left foot. If your hamstrings are tight, hold a strap looped around the
    left sole.
    Firm the front thigh muscles of the standing leg, and press the outer thigh inward.
    Inhale and extend the left leg forward. Straighten the knee as much as possible. If
    youre steady, swing the leg out to the side. Breathe steadily; breathing takes
    concentration, but it helps you balance.
    Hold for 30 seconds, then swing the leg back to center with an inhale, and lower the
    foot to the floor with an exhale. Repeat on the other side for the same length of time.
