Supta Padangusthasana (Reclining Big Toe Pose)
Benefits
- Stretches hips, thighs, hamstrings, groins, and calves
- Strengthens the knees
- Stimulates the prostate gland
- Improves digestion
- Relieves backache, sciatica, and menstrual discomfort
- Therapeutic for high blood pressure and flat feet.
Beginner's Tip
If you are especially stiff, do this pose with the bottom-leg heel pressed against a wall or knee bent and sole of the foot on the floor. It's also useful to position a block just outside the raised-leg hip. Then when you swing the leg to the side, rest it on the block. The support under the thigh will help you soften the inner groin.
