This is among the most basic poses in hot yoga. It strengthens and tones your legs and also stretches your groin and hips. The pose works to stretch your muscles and improve flexibility. It is a great pose to do when you want to warm up before doing other poses or towards the end of class after holding it for some time since it will help loosen your muscles even more.
