Child’s Pose
Note:
The child’s pose stretches your hips, ankles, and thighs and can help beat fatigue. It is an easy position that almost anyone can use for relaxation. Just don’t use it if you are pregnant, are suffering from diarrhea, or have a knee injury.
Pose Instruction
- Begin in a kneeling position with your knees hip-width apart and your feet together, soles facing up. Take slow, full breaths throughout this pose.
- Lower your hips until they are resting on your heels (or as close to your heels as you can get them). Breathe out and bend your torso forward to the ground until you melt onto the top of your thighs, with your forehead resting on the ground. Again, if you can’t comfortably bend this far down, go just as far as you can. Over time, your body will relax more and you will be able to melt further down into the child’s pose.
- Rest your arms on the ground beside your body, with your palms facing up. Feel your spinal column relax. Let your shoulders relax downward and shoulder blades naturally open.
- To gently stretch your upper back, rest your arms straight forward out of your shoulders. Again, if you can’t get your arms straight, just go as far as you can. Over time, you will be able to stretch your arms straight overhead, with complete range of motion.
- Stay in this position as long as you like. To release from this pose, breathe in and raise your torso up.
