Hurdler Pose is an advanced arm-balancing pose that strengthens multiple muscles at once. This pose is also commonly called Flying Splits Pose.
Here are some health benefits of Hurdler Pose:
Builds muscle in your upper body and core
Burns belly fat
Strengthens back muscles
Opens your hips
Improves balance
How to do Hurdler/Flying Splits Pose:
1. Bring your hands down to the front of your mat and step your feet to the rear of your mat.
2. Wrap your triceps under, press into your hands, and lift your hips up and back.
3. Elevate one leg up to the sky and bend that knee to open your hip.
4. Slowly shift forward as you connect your raised inner thigh to the outside of your tricep.
5. Create a shelf for your raised leg by bending your arms and shift your weight forward into your fingertips.
6. Lift your other leg up off the ground.
7. To finish the pose, extend your bent leg straight out and bring your gaze down or slightly forward.

How does the right leg is standing like this ? Where do you get the force from ?

[@MisoDad777]

Bring your body weight slightly forward but feel the gravity grounding you with your arm balance.
