Happy Baby Pose ("Ananda Balasana")

Description

Lie on your back and bring your knees toward your chest, then grab the outside of your feet with your hands, or your ankles if needed. Open your knees out to either side of your torso, toward your armpits, keeping your lower back in contact with the floor and your feet above your knees, with your shins vertical. Keep your shoulders relaxed, your neck long, and your gaze toward the ceiling. Keep your breathing calm, letting your hips open gradually. To massage your lower back, you can gently rock from side to side, in a smooth and controlled manner.
