The frog stretch isn’t for everyone — trust me, it’s not a pose you want to force your body into without practice. However, I’ve got an alternative that I use with clients who don’t want to try the renowned “pelvis breaker” (yes, it really is known as that, but lovingly), and still want to strengthen and stretch the hips, adductors and groin.
If you can't get into the frog stretch, these alternatives can still improve hip mobility, increase adductor flexibility and relieve tension in your back. Here are three moves I teach, plus the benefits. I recommend using bolsters, yoga blocks and the best yoga mats to help support your body throughout, then read on for the exercises.
