Balasana - Child's Pose

Balasana, also known as Child's Pose, is a restful yoga pose that helps to relax the mind and body.

This pose is called Balasana because it resembles the posture of a resting child. It helps to calm the nervous system and relieve stress.

To practice Balasana, start by kneeling on the floor with your knees hip-width apart. Sit back on your heels and slowly lower your forehead to the ground, extending your arms forward or alongside your body. Take deep breaths and relax in this pose for a few minutes.

Child's pose is particularly beneficial for those who spend long hours sitting or standing, as it helps to relieve tension in the back, neck, and shoulders. It also stretches the hips, thighs, and ankles.

Regular practice of Balasana can help to release physical and mental tension, promote relaxation, and improve overall well-being.
