Every yoga pose has a variety of effects on all the systems of the body.This variation of a high lunge is a great way to strengthen the quadriceps, stretch the iliopsoas and open the shoulders. You can strap the wrists or elbows and slide a wedge under the back foot too. Great energizing asana and helpful for balance.
