How to Do the Perfect Low Lunge (Anjaneyasana) - Complete Guide
Want to master Low Lunge — the fundamental hip opener that stretches the hip flexors and builds leg strength? You're in the right place.
Perfect Low Lunge (Anjaneyasana) Technique
Low Lunge (Anjaneyasana) is a foundational pose that deeply stretches the hip flexors while building strength in the legs and core. This pose is particularly beneficial for counteracting the effects of prolonged sitting, making it essential for athletes and office workers alike. The pose also opens the chest and can be energizing when practiced with the arms reaching overhead. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures proper alignment, safe hip opening, and optimal weight distribution.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position:Begin in downward dog or standing forward fold
- Step Forward:Step right foot forward between hands, knee over ankle
- Lower Back Knee:Gently lower left knee to floor, untuck toes
- Square Hips:Square hips toward front of mat, lengthen through spine
- Arm Options:Keep hands on floor, on front thigh, or reach overhead
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Allowing front knee to drift over toes
