Frog Stand
Overview
How to do it
- 1
Start in a squat with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart.
- 2
Set your hands on the floor in front of you with your fingers pointing forward. Keep your hands shoulder-width apart or slightly wider.
- 3
Place your knees on the backs of your upper arms, just above the elbows. Press your knees into the triceps muscles.
- 4
Shift your weight forward onto your hands and lift your feet from the floor at the same time.
- 5
Tighten your core and work to settle into the Frog Stand position. Keep your knees on your upper arms, and point your toes toward the ceiling.
- 6
Stay in the position for as long as you can keep your balance and stability. Beginners may hold it for only a few seconds, while more advanced practitioners can maintain it for longer durations.
- 7
To exit the pose, lower your feet gently to the floor and take the pressure off your arms.
