Balasana
Child Pose
Foundations of Posture:
  • Begin with your toes together and knees as wide as you mat.  The more flexible you are the closer your knees can come together until they touch.
  • Bring the forehead to the ground and buttocks to the heels.  If there is space between your buttocks and heels place a blanket in that space.  If you are having trouble meeting your head to the ground you can stack to fist and place your forehead on your hands or place a block under your forehead.
  • Allow the arms to rest at your sides.
  • Watch the breath rise and fall as your hips soften in to the stretch.
  • To release: Place your hands directly below your shoulders.  Press into the ground as you bring your upper body back to vertical.
