standing split
One-legged upright stretch
A standing split is a yoga or dance pose where one leg remains planted on the ground while the other extends straight up toward the ceiling, creating a vertical split position.
The pose requires significant hamstring flexibility and balance: She warmed up with a standing split before class.
Also called Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana in yoga practice.
