Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana
Standing Hand to Big Toe Pose
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.

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?
