The lizard pose is a yoga pose known as 'Utthan Pristhasana' in Sanskrit. It is a deep hip opener and a stretch for the groin and hamstrings. To perform the Lizard Pose, start in a plank position, step one foot forward towards the outer edge of the hand, lower the opposite knee to the mat, and either stay on your hands or lower onto your forearms, allowing for a deep stretch in the hips and groin.
