Instructions

What is Standing Split Pose in Yoga Standing Split is an intermediate yoga pose that stretches your legs and hips while challenging your balance. This pose is also a common preparatory position for the front-to-back split pose done on the floor, which is known as Monkey Pose

Benefits of Standing Split Standing Split stretches the whole back side of the body, particularly the hamstrings and calves. It strengthens the thighs, knees, and ankles, and also stretches the groin muscles. Supporting your body's weight on one leg, while upside-down, will greatly challenge and improve your balance.
