Child’s pose


This pose can calm the nervous system and reduce pain.

  • Kneel on the floor. You should keep your toes together and spread your knees as wide as you can.
  • Lower your buttocks onto your heels.
  • Sit up straight and allow your body to adjust to this position.
  • After you exhale, lean forward so that your head and chest rests between or on top of your thighs. Allow your forehead to rest on the floor.
  • Your arms should remain extended, palms facing down.
  • Hold for one minute or more, allowing your neck and shoulders to release any tension.


To come out of this pose, use your hands to push yourself upward and sit back on your heels.
