Protecting the knees during Mandukasana (frog pose)

A few people commented about their knees during the frog pose. No doubt, this exercise is hard for most people because their hips aren't flexible so a lot of aspiring yogis actually put strain on their knees.

A good tip is to fold the yoga mat three times (lengthwise) and place the folded mat below your knees. This should help cushion the knees a little bit. And no, it doesn't mean the pose is any easier!

Keep frogging, yogis!
