Kurmasana is also called the Tortoise Pose or the Pancake Stretch.
This pose is also a gate way to more advanced yoga poses and hand balances.

Outside of yoga being able to stretch forward with legs abducted or straddled transfers over to various sports and activities:
-
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners benefit from this pose, when looking for various chokes and submissions from the bottom guard or looking to move the limbs around their opponents limbs.
-
Break dancers, gymnasts, kicking martial arts stylists and pole dancers can improve their skills as well, if Kurmasana is well developed.

Take a look at Kurmasana Online Training Program:
Try the following exercise:
1- Get into position as closely as the picture as you can.
The focus will be on the front leg and chest to the floor, so keep this in mind. Once you find your position and how deep you can go, don't push or relax there, go to step 2.
2- Lift your heel for a second.
This is the move that will create space for your target to go deeper. Once you lifted your heel don't stay here either, the move should be one quick second, then go right away to step 3.
3- Heel down and drop your chest.
It is important that as your heel is going down so is your chest. This way you have tricked your body and got deeper into the stretch.
Then step 3 becomes your new starting position! Keep repeating the sequence and get deeper and deeper without pain. You do the "leverage" then as the leverage returns the target goes deeper. Leverage again, as you retrieve the leverage your target goes deeper, and keep moving. Heel up, heel and chest down - heel up, heel and chest down, and so on.
