Here, I break down intermediate and advanced poses with a focus on correct alignment to prevent injury. Learn the subtle differences between similar asanas and build strength for challenging postures.
Understanding the details matters. In this video, I explain the key differences between three common forward folds: Uttanasana, Padangusthasana (holding the big toe), and Padahastasana (hands under feet).

I call this exercise 'mountain walking', and it's a fantastic way to improve hamstring flexibility. By walking your feet from Parvatasana (Downward Dog) towards your hands, you create a deep, dynamic stretch.
This is a detailed tutorial on Utthita Parsvakonasana, or Extended Side Angle Pose. I explain the alignment for strengthening the legs and achieving a deep side-body stretch, and also list the contraindications.
