Yin Yoga Baby Dragon & Dragon Flying Low / Hip Flexors, Psoas & Groin Release

In this Yin Yoga Deep Dive we explore Dragon Pose — one of the most powerful and transformative poses in the entire Yin practice. Dragon targets the hip flexors, psoas, groin and front line of the body — the connective tissue that quietly shortens with every hour we spend sitting, driving or moving through the demands of daily life. This tutorial guides you step by step through two variations: Baby Dragon — accessible deep lunge, hip flexor & psoas focus Dragon Flying Low — deeper variation into the groin & outer hip We'll hold each side for a full Yin hold, move through a rebound in Child's Pose, and close with Sphinx as a counter pose to restore balance to the front body.
