Description

Frog pose. Belly down reclined hip opener. A prone pose characterized by wide knee separation and feet aligned with the knees, creating a deep hip opener. It is commonly used in warm-up or hip-opening sequences to increase flexibility and prepare for deeper stretches. Classified within hip-opening poses, it typically follows preparatory stretches such as low lunges and precedes seated forward bends. Known as mandukasana in Sanskrit, the pose's name references a frog due to the bent and splayed leg position.
