Dragon Pose

Anjaneyasana (Yin)

Step one foot forward from hands and knees and sink the hips low.

Benefits: Encourages fascial release, joint mobility, and a calm parasympathetic response. Particularly helpful for releasing frustration.
Props: Blocks, blanket, or bolster optional.
Hold Time: 3 to 5 minutes
Cautions and Contraindications: Avoid forcing depth. Back out if you feel sharp, pinching, or electric sensations, especially around knees and low back.
Entering Dragon Pose: Start on hands and knees and step one foot forward between the hands. Slide the back knee farther behind you. Keep the hands on the floor or blocks as the hips sink forward and down. Take a steady inhale to create length, then use the exhale to settle into the final shape.
Exiting Dragon Pose: Shift the hips back. Bring the front foot back and return to hands and knees before changing sides. Pause in a neutral position for a moment before continuing.
