Purvottanasana is a dynamic posture that can effectively counteract forward bending (the reverse posture of sitting and standing forward) during practice.
In Purvottanasana, you stretch the front of your body while strengthening the movement chain of your entire back.
This is the muscle group in the back of the body, including the gastrocnemius, hamstring, gluteus maximus, quadratus lumborum, and erector spinae.
In practice, use this energetic posture to resist forward bending.
