How to do Standing Frog

StandingHoldIntermediate

Standing Frog is a standing stretch for your glutes, groin and hips.

Step by step

  1. 1Step your feet out nice and wide and turn your toes out.
  2. 2Put your hands on your thighs, then bend your knees and sink your hips down, however low feels good today.

What you should feel

Let your knees open wide, over your toes.

Form tips

  • Knees track over the toes. Press the knees open with your hands. Feel the inner thighs and hips opening.
  • Feel your inner thighs and hips soften.
  • Keep your chest tall… your breath easy.

Make it easier

Stay a little higher if your knees need a gentler day.

Coming out of it

On your next exhale… press through your feet… and slowly stand up.

Muscles it works

Move slowly and stop if anything hurts. This is general guidance, not medical advice; check with a professional if you're injured or recovering.
