Frog pose

Beginner
Glutes

Starting position: Begin in a prone position with knees wide apart, shins parallel to each other, and forearms resting on the ground for support. Execution: Hold this static stretch position, allowing gravity to gently open the hips and stretch the inner thighs and hip flexors.

Find your pose

  1. 01Begin by kneeling on your mat and gradually lower down to your forearms
  2. 02Spread your knees wide apart while keeping your shins parallel to each other
  3. 03Rest your forearms on the ground and allow your hips to sink toward the floor
  4. 04Breathe deeply and hold the position, focusing on relaxing into the stretch
  5. 05Only go as deep as feels comfortable and avoid forcing the stretch
  6. 06Hold for 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on your flexibility level

Keep in mind

  • Keep your knees and ankles aligned to protect your knee joints
  • Only sink as low as your body naturally allows without pain or discomfort
  • Focus on breathing deeply to help your muscles relax and deepen the stretch gradually
  • Place a pillow or bolster under your torso if you need additional support
  • Stop immediately if you feel any sharp pain in your knees, hips, or lower back

Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain. Seek guidance from a qualified professional if you have an injury or health condition.
