Frog Pose: Mandukasana (Yin) | Yin
Benefits
Encourages fascial release, joint mobility, and a calm parasympathetic response. Particularly helpful for working with resistance.
Props
Blankets, bolster, or blocks optional.
Hold Time
3 to 5 minutes
Cautions
Avoid forcing depth. Back out if you feel sharp, pinching, or electric sensations, especially around knees and low back.
Entering Frog Pose
Come onto hands and knees and widen the knees apart. Slide the feet out in line with the knees. Lower to the forearms or a support as the hips move back. Take a steady inhale to create length, then use the exhale to settle into the final shape.
Exiting Frog Pose
Press into the hands and slowly draw the knees back toward each other. Rest in Childs Pose or on the belly. Pause in a neutral position for a moment before continuing.
