Frog

Featuring Mindy, NS Lead Teacher

Release tension in your inner groin, hips, and spine while embracing the benefits of frog pose.

Benefits

• Frog Pose is a deep groin opener (especially the adductors)

• It provides a slight back bend, which compresses the lower back

• It aids digestion and relieves cramps (both menstrual cramps and those from eating.

Directions

1. With a blanket under the knees start in a wide legged child’s pose and slide your hands forward dropping your elbows down (Tadpole)

2. To go deeper continue to extend your knees to the side as you allow your hips to draw forward and down

3. Stay 3-5 minutes and gently release into child's pose for a moment before you rise up.

Modifications

• Half Frog- starting in Sphinx position drawing your right knee toward your right elbow and staying lifted on your elbows or lying flat using your palms as a pillow. Repeat on the other side. 

• Rest your torso on the bolster as you forward fold
