Child's Pose

Child's Pose is a gentle resting pose that stretches the hips, thighs, and spine, promoting relaxation and calm.

How to Perform Child's Pose:

• Starting Position: Begin in a kneeling position with your big toes touching and knees apart.
• Stretch Forward: Lower your torso forward, extending your arms in front of you with palms down.
• Relax: Let your forehead rest on the mat and relax your shoulders.
• Breathe: Take slow, deep breaths and hold the pose for 30 seconds to a few minutes.

Dos:

• Keep your arms extended or rest them by your sides for added relaxation.
• Focus on breathing deeply to release tension in your back and hips.
• Allow your hips to sink towards your heels.

Don'ts:

• Don’t force your hips to touch your heels if it feels uncomfortable.
• Avoid straining your shoulders; let them relax naturally.
• If your forehead doesn’t reach the mat, use a block or cushion for support.
