Uttana Pristhasana

Uttana Pristhasana, commonly known as Lizard Pose, is a deep hip-opening yoga posture designed to improve lower-body flexibility, strength, and mobility. This pose targets the hip flexors, hamstrings, groin, and quadriceps while also engaging the core and upper body for stability. Widely used in yoga, fitness, and rehabilitation practices.
