Get in the Baby Yoga Pose
or Child's 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 need is 2 minutes and a flat surface, which could even be your bed. However, I recommend that you use a yoga mat |
Yoga Baby Pose - Variation 1
To get started, place your yoga mat in a quiet room where you won't be disturbed.
- 1. Kneel on your yoga mat (facing the length of the mat).
- 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.
Yoga Baby Pose - Variation 2
- 1. Kneel on your yoga mat (facing the length of the mat).
- 2. Sit on your heels.
- 3. Bend down vertebrae by vertebrae until your forehead touches the mat.
- 4. Place your arms in front of you, palms down.
- 5. Relax and breathe.
The second variation on this asana is particularly good for stretching your lower back. I use it regularly during my Pilates workouts and it's truly two minutes of heaven!
