Frog Pose Instructions
1. Start in child’s pose, with your torso lying down and your arms stretched in front of you.
2. Walk your knees out to the sides, as wide apart as it feels comfortable, and place your forearms on the mat.
3. Flex your feet and rest the inside edges on the mat.
4. Stay in frog pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Mindfulness Practice
Keep the focus on your breath, press your weight into your elbows, look down and push your hips slowly down and back. Feel the stretch in your hips and groin area, relax the neck, and maintain your knees, hips and ankle joints at 90-degree angles.
