How to do the Frog Pose
Ready to get started with the Kundalini Yoga frog pose? Find a quiet spot where you can engage in this powerful technology. You can do the up and down motion of the exercise as many times as you want.
If you happen to have weak knees or leg problems, you should be careful with the frog pose. The truth is that this motion can further damage your knees. For that reason, only work to a level and pace that suits you.
Step one:
Squat down to the ground while balancing on your toes. Your feet should be apart without touching at all. Put your arms inside your legs to spread your knees apart.
Your fingertips should be touching the floor, while your arms are completely straight downward.
You can either open or close your eyes. The most important thing about the Kundalini Yoga frog pose is that you find your sense of balance.
Step two:
Breathe in while stretching your legs. Allow your legs to straighten but keep your fingertips on the floor. Keep in mind that this may take some time if you are new to the position.
You may find that you cannot completely stretch your legs. However, you should keep your hands on the floor throughout and only stretch as far as you can go. Avoid putting your palms on the floor too.
Step three:
Next, breathe out and move your bottom down to your heels. When you have done so, you can bring your head back up. When you have gone up and down completely, that is one round of Frog Pose.
Step four:
Continue in this up and down motion. Connect your breathing pattern with the movements. As you come up, breathe in, and as you go down, breathe out.
Final step:
When you are ready to bring the session to a close, come down into the seated position and breathe in deeply. Next, place your bottom on the floor and stretch your legs forward. As you do so, relax your knees and legs.
After a moment, you may wish to move into Easy Pose, or any position that feels comfortable to you. You can keep your eyes closed for a few moments after you are done, allowing the energy to flow through your spine.
Quick note:
The day after you have engaged in frog pose, you may find that your muscles are sore. It’s important to understand that this is completely normal. It simply means that you have worked your muscles well.
