Dragonfly Pose

Inner Thigh and Groin Opener

Thigh & Groin

Dragonfly Pose is a wide-legged seated forward fold that targets the adductors (inner thighs) and groin


This Yin variation of Upavistha Konasana is practiced with a focus on passive release, making it accessible for all levels. It embodies the concept of yielding, allowing gravity to gradually open the hips and inner thighs.

Sit on your mat and widen your legs into a wide “V” shape, keeping your knees slightly bent to avoid strain. Inhale to lengthen your spine, and exhale to walk your hands forward, folding toward the floor. Rest your torso on the mat or on a prop, and allow your arms to relax.

This pose provides a profound stretch for the inner thighs and groin, improving flexibility and mobility in the hips. It stimulates the bladder and kidney meridians, supporting detoxification and energy flow. The forward fold calms the mind, reduces stress, and encourages a sense of vulnerability and release.

Hold Dragonfly Pose for 3 to 5 minutes. Practice it 2 times a week to cultivate openness in the inner thighs and hips.
