Low Lunge Yoga Pose Anjaneyasana I

Begin in a standing position. Step one foot back into a lunge, keeping the front knee over the ankle.

Lower your hips toward the ground, feeling a stretch in the hip flexor of the back leg.

Raise your arms overhead, keeping your shoulders relaxed.

Hold the position for several breaths, then switch sides.

How to perform the Low Lunge Yoga Pose Anjaneyasana I

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Low Lunge Yoga Pose Anjaneyasana I using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your glutes.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your glutes rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
