Both Big Toes Pose

Ubhaya Padangusthasana

Both Big Toes Pose is a balancing forward fold where you roll up onto the sit bones, hold both big toes, and straighten the legs into a V while lifting the chest. It demands core control, open hamstrings, and steady focus to keep from rolling backward. The gaze lifts upward as the pose finds its balance point.
