Description

From the Child’s Pose, with your arms extended forward and your hips sinking back toward your heels, let your forehead come to the floor and allow your spine to lengthen. Then bring your arms back alongside your body for complete relaxation. Breathe into the back of your rib cage to feel it expand posteriorly with each inhalation. Maintain this for a few slow, deep breathing cycles, within a comfortable range of motion.
