frog pose
The frog pose might seem to be an awkward pose at first. However this pose renders a deep stretch for the inner thighs and hips. If you have sensitive knees, then place a couple of blankets or a thick yoga mat beneath your knees for cushioning. To get into this pose you will have to follow these steps.
• You need to get on the floor on your hands and knees.
• Slowly start to move your knees out to the side and away from each other.
• Keep your ankles and feet in line.
• You must bend your knees at a 90 degree angle, with the ankles lying straight below or in other words your ankles should touch the ground.
• Make sure your feet do not kick in or out.
• Lower your body down to your forearms, and gently sway your body forward and backward, bringing the hips between the feet and then return to the starting position.
• You need to keep your knees closer to your elbows; the farther the knees are apart the more intense the stretch.
• Hold this position for five or more deep breaths.
• Release yourself slowly, bring your hips forward; come back to your hands and gradually bring your knees together.
You need to be in an extremely calm state of mind while performing the frog pose. Make sure you do not bounce back while stretching and use deep breaths; you also need to make the entire process as gentle as possible.
The frog pose is simple to execute. For athletes this pose is extremely beneficial. People who suffer from certain ailments should always consult their doctor before engaging in any yoga activities.
