Frog Stretch

Technique

How to perform Frog Stretch

1. Start on your hands and knees, then move your knees apart to a comfortable width.
2. Keep your knees bent roughly ninety degrees, with the ankles behind the knees rather than the shins continuing straight along the thighs.
3. Turn the feet outward so their inner edges rest against the floor.
4. Support your torso with your hands or forearms and keep your back controlled.
5. Shift your hips gently backward until the inner-thigh stretch is established.
6. Hold without bouncing or forcing the hips downward, breathing steadily.
7. Shift forward to reduce the stretch, then bring your knees together slowly.
