Urdhva Prasārita Padāsana (Upward Extended Feet)

About the Pose

One of the best poses for building abdominal, core strength. It is essential to lift the pit of your abdomen to protect your lower back as you practice this pose and gradually challenge yourself to do more repetitions. Placing your hands underneath your buttocks helps to tilt your pelvis posteriorly and reduce the strain on your back and hip flexors.

Benefits from the Pose

  1. This pose engages your core muscles, helping to build overall abdominal strength and stability, which supports better posture and protects your back.

  2. By focusing on different parts of your abdominal muscles, this posture allows you to target and strengthen specific areas of your core, improving muscle control and fortitude over time.
