High Lunge

High Lunge is a lunge pose where one leg is extended far back, and the heel of the back foot is lifted off the floor. It strengthens the lower body, extends the hip flexors, and cultivates core stability.

This pose effectively strengthens major lower body muscles including quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. It stretches the hip flexors (like the psoas), which can become tight from prolonged sitting. It also enhances balance and concentration.

One leg is stepped far back, with the back heel lifted into a high lunge position. The front knee is bent at 90 degrees, with the heel directly below it. The torso is upright, and both arms extend overhead alongside the ears.
