This is a classic seated yoga posture that works on the thighs, ankles, knees, and glutes. It is also beneficial for those suffering from gout or flat feet.
Flat Feet
Half Frog Pose (Ardha Bhekasana)
Half Frog Pose stretches and strengthens the thigh and back muscles, hip flexors, knees, shoulders, and hamstrings, increasing flexibility and mobility in these areas.
Extended Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikonasana)
Extended Triangle Pose is the foundational pose for a variety of standing yoga poses. It works to strengthen the hamstrings, thighs, and knees.
Dolphin Pose (Ardha Pincha Mayurasana)
A wonderful alternative to Downward Facing Dog Pose, this pose utilizes the strength of the forearms, instead of the wrists. It is a semi inversion pose that directs the flow of the blood towards the head, strengthening the upper body and increasing our ability to concentrate and remain calm.
Chair Pose (Utkatasana)
Chair Pose is a standing pose that works on the entire body, strengthening the arms, shoulders, back, hips, thighs, knees, and ankles. Specifically, it activates the thigh muscles because while practicing this asana we have to sit on an imaginary chair with our arms lifted up.
