Child's Pose - Rest & Gentle Stretching

Child’s Pose

Child’s pose is a gentle resting position that can provide a comfortable stretch through the back, hips and shoulders. Because the body is supported close to the floor, it can also provide an opportunity to slow down, rest and notice areas where you may be holding unnecessary muscular tension.

The position can easily be adapted using cushions or pillows, and there’s no need to achieve a particular shape. The aim is to find a version that allows your individual body to feel comfortably supported.
