I hold my hands up and freely admit to using the frog pose during cool-downs and my stretching classes with a certain glee when training clients. It's one of my favorite yoga poses to ease nasty symptoms of sciatica, plus it stretches the adductors that run down the inner thighs, the hips and the lower back. Suffering from hip flexor pain? Try this.
The frog pose is capable of developing mobility and flexibility around your hips, improving posture, helping you achieve better depth during squats and lunges and easing tightness in the area. But it's a seriously uncomfortable exercise to do for any length of time, and I know plenty of yogis who dread it.
