Standing Hand to Big Toe Pose icon

Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana

Standing Hand to Big Toe Pose

Skill Level
Intermediate

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。

Through targeted movements, we focused on awakening the outer buttocks and thighs, areas prone to stiffness, to promote freedom of movement and relieve tension. Additionally, the session was dedicated to cultivating a robust torso, core, and back muscles, along with the pelvic floor, fostering natural strength and improving posture.

Thank you for taking the time to explore your yoga practice this week. If you're seeking to enhance your well-being and join future sessions, you are warmly invited to participate in our classes. Embrace the opportunity to nurture your body, mind, and spirit through yoga.

What is a warped waist?

When you stand upright, your pelvis tilts forward, and to cover it, your hips also stick out, with the area just above your hips curving back. The cause is lack of muscle strength. Among the inner muscles, if the biceps femoris that connects the thighs and pelvis is weak, the pelvis cannot firmly support the weight of the upper body, resulting in distortion and back pain.

反り腰とは?

直立したときに骨盤が前に傾き、それをカバーするために、すぐ上の腰のあたりが後に反り返ってしまう状態でお尻も突き出ます。原因は筋力不足です。インナーマッスルのなかでも特に太ももと骨盤をつなぐ大腿二頭筋の弱いと上半身の重みを骨盤がしっかりと支る事ができずに歪みや腰痛になります。
