With over 200 poses to choose from, not including their modifications, there is literally a yoga pose for every need. If you have tight groin muscles or would like to strengthen your groin muscles, there are several yoga poses that target that part of your body.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Begin your yoga routine with a sun salutation series, which includes poses to warm up the entire body. The standing forward bend and the downward facing dog prepare the hamstrings and the groin muscles for your workout.

  2. Step 2

    Perform more standing poses that target the groin area. Some poses would include the standing big toe pose, the extended triangle and the extended side angle.

  3. Step 3

    Strengthen the groin area with some standing poses, such as the high lunge or dancer's pose. Balance poses, such as the the garland pose and the crane are also strengthen the groin muscles.

  4. Step 4

    Challenge yourself with some yoga back bends, poses that stretch and strengthen the anterior groin muscles. Back bends that target the groin might include the wheel pose, the camel or the king pigeon pose.

  5. Step 5

    Target the groin area with ending mediation poses. Almost all meditation poses are performed in a cross-legged position, which gently stretches the groin. These poses include the bound angle pose, the lotus, half lotus and the easy pose.
