Child's Pose



Stretches hips, quads, back

1. Kneel on the floor with big toes touching and knees about hip-width apart. Sit on your heels.

2. Lay your torso between the thighs and bring your forehead to the mat. Extend arms straight in front of you, palms on the floor. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Stay here for at least one minute.

Why it is good for you
