I did a 3 minute lizard pose every day for a week — here's why I love it

The lizard pose is a wonderful stretch of the hip flexors, hamstrings and quadriceps. If you want to increase your mobility and flexibility while easing tension in your body then you’ll probably want to add this popular yoga pose to your routine. It will fit nicely into a stretching routine or can be used as a standalone exercise.

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.
