Yoga Tips: Utthita Hasta Padangustasana (Extended Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose) Preparation
Even Moon finds Utthita Hasta Padangustasana challenging! Don't worry - in this video, Korean Ashtanga teacher Moon and I will walk you through the key preparation movements to help you enter this pose more easily and with greater stability!

Key Points to Note:
- Keep the standing leg stable: Keep the leg straight and avoid excessive bending, which affects balance.
- Big toe: Keep your big toe firmly grounded - don't let it lift unconsciously.
- No hunching: When lifting the leg, don't rush. Keep your back straight for stability.
- Chest up: Remember to lift your chest, then breathe.
This 90-second video will help you understand how to progress from basic positioning into this balance-challenging pose.
