How To: Lizard Pose Tips & Modifications

Hey, ya'll! Today's video is another YOGA POSE TUTORIAL where I teach you how to get into some of yoga's most commonly used poses. Today's pose is LIZARD POSE or UTTHAN PRISTHASANA. Lizard Pose is great for stretching and strengthening the quads, hamstrings, and hip flexors. It can be challenging if you have some limitations, but I've provided a couple modifications that can hopefully help you to get into the pose more easily. I use Lizard Pose a lot and so do many other instructors so it's important to make sure you're doing the poses properly so you can get the most out of them.

As with all physical activity, yoga included, it is important to listen to your body at all times and never exceed the sensation of just a light stretch.

Always consult your doctor about any physical activity.

Black Yogi Nico Marie/Yoga with Nico recommends that you consult your physician regarding the applicability of any recommendations and follow all safety instructions before beginning any exercise program, including yoga. When online, it is up to the individual to assess whether they are ready for the class that they have chosen. When participating in any exercise or exercise program, there is the possibility of physical injury.
