Standing Hand to Big Toe Pose icon

Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana

Standing Hand to Big Toe Pose

Skill Level
Advanced

If the adductor muscles are skipped, the pelvic plate muscles cannot be supported and the pelvis will loosen and become unstable. By using the adductor muscles that support the pelvis from the front and back, the pelvic plate muscles (group) that supports the internal organs at the bottom of the pelvis can also be supported. The pelvis is aligned by the connection from the adductor muscles to the pelvic plate muscles.

Once the pelvis is in place, the internal organs align. When the internal organs are in place, the lower abdomen will be tightened, the muscles of the legs will be strengthened, and you'll acquire increased stability and flexibility. It trains the deep muscles around the waist, especially the inner muscles and "psoas major muscle" that connects the spine and femur.

内転筋をサボっていると骨盤底筋をサポートできず、 骨盤が緩み安定しません。前後から骨盤を支えている 内転筋を使うと、骨盤の底で内臓を支える骨盤底筋 (群)の働きをもサポートでき内転筋→骨盤底筋への 連結により、骨盤が整います。

骨盤が整うと、内臓の位置も整います。内臓の位置が整えば、下腹が引締まり、足の筋肉を強化し、安定性、柔軟性が身につく。腰回りの深層筋、インナーマッスル特にに背骨と大腿骨を繋ぐ”大腰筋”を鍛える。
