Child’s Pose for Back Pain

Child’s Pose is a calming, traditional yoga pose that relieves tension in the lower back.

To do Child’s Pose:

• On a mat or towel, kneel on the ground with your knees spread hip-width apart.

• Sink back to rest your bottom on your heels.

• Lean forward so that your stomach is on your thighs and your arms are extended out in front of you.

• Rest your forehead on the ground while you inhale for three seconds and exhale for three seconds.
