Child's Pose

Child’s Pose is a gentle yoga posture that relaxes the lower back and hips while promoting a deep stretch through the spine. It’s often used for recovery and to release tension in the back after physical activity.

Instructions

1. Start on your hands and knees with your knees spread wide and big toes touching.
2. Walk your hands forward and lower your chest toward the floor.
3. Sit your hips back onto your heels as you extend your arms in front of you.
4. Let your forehead rest on the floor and breathe deeply.
5. Hold the stretch for 30–60 seconds or longer if comfortable.
