The Child’s Pose is a simple, restorative posture aimed at increasing flexibility—a fundamental aspect of good posture. This asana requires one to kneel down, bend forward, and extend their arms in front of them, with the forehead resting on the ground if possible.

A wonderful decompressing stretch, this pose provides an excellent counterbalance to back-straightening postures by offering a deep, gentle stretch to the back muscles, thereby promoting flexibility and relieving any tension or strain in the spine.

Moreover, the pose is also about surrender and rest, about grounding oneself, and soothing the mind in the middle of a challenging yoga sequence. Hence, this pose is practiced to aid not just in physical posture improvements but in stress and anxiety relief as well.
