Most suffer from diabetes, due to the lack of exercise and diet. Yoga’s Mandukasana pose helps in inducing the pancreas to secrete more insulin. The Mandukasana yoga pose your body resembles a frog, hence the term “Frog Posture.”

There’s different Mandukasana variants. You can crouch on a mat in the first edition. If you have some hip-related ailment and can’t crouch on a mat, you can switch to the second version where you can sit or use a chair.

How to do Mandukasana, first version

Mandukasana "Frog Posture" Yoga Pose

You should crouch “hunkered down” on a mat. Bend your knees and tuck behind your thighs and buttocks. You must keep your back straight. Now start moving your folded legs apart to form a V. But as you move your legs apart, your tips can still touch each other. Now put your arms with your palms flat on the mat to maintain your upright stance. Breathe normally.

The first version lets you lose extra fat around your hip and thighs. This is essentially an exercise that encourages the digestive system to function better. This helps the body control blood sugar levels.

Second Version of the Mandukasana

You can do the second version of the Mandukasana sitting on a chair, so anyone with difficulties sitting on a mat can start with this version. First, inhale and exhale. This clears the nasal tract. Place your palms over your belly, gently push against your navel. Inhale your breath deeply. Stop and then exhale forcefully.

Place your palms softly against your navel and bend your back to meet your knees. If you can do this, go on to bend and cross your nose above your knees. But you should try to touch your knees with your nose. Pause in this role. Of course, the more you can bend, the better results from this exercise.

The Third Version of the Mandukasana

In this exercise’s third edition, you curl your palms into fists and drive them deep into your navel’s two sides. Again, you replicate the second version’s movement loop.

How to exit out of the Mandukasana
