Get in the Baby Yoga Pose
or Child Pose and Relax

The baby yoga pose is most often known as child pose.

It is a common relaxation asana in both yoga and pilates. It is particularly beneficial to those who work on their abdominal or back muscles because it helps stretch these muscles.

If you're one of those who have been putting yoga in the "it's too hard for me" category, this pose should help you change your mind.

It's really, really easy and all you really need is 2 minutes and a flat surface, which could even be your bed. However, I recommend that you use a yoga mat if you have one.

2. Sit on your heels.

3. Bend down vertebrae by vertebrae until your forehead touches the mat.

4. Place your arms next to your feet, palms up.

5. Relax and breathe.
