Child Pose - Balasana

Child Pose is a basic pose. It is also a resting pose.

Balasana is pronounced: bah-LAHS-anna

*bala = child

Steps:

1. Kneel on your mat. Touch your big toes together and sit on your heels. Seperate your knees as wide as your hips.

2. Exhale and lay your torso between your things. Lengthen your tailbone away from the back of the pelvis while you life the base of your skull away from the back of your neck.

3. Lay your hands on the mat alongside your torso palms up. Release the fronts of your shoulders toward the mat.

-if you are unable to lay your head to the floor and place your palms up- instead try placing the bottom of your forearms to the mat.

Enjoy!
