Sanskrit: Utthita Balasana
This is one of my favourite yoga postures! We direct our focus inwards, away from the outside world. It is a forward bend - a calming, resting and restorative pose.
Try it: *kneel on your mat *touch your big toes together, knees as wide as your mat
*sit on your heels
*bend forward from your hips *relax the upper body between your thighs towards the floor
*arms extended, relax your shoulders away from your ears
*lengthen your tailbone
*you can stay on this pose for a few breaths and up to a few minutes
*the pressing of the belly on thighs reminds us to deep breathe
*to come back up to kneeling *inhale, place your hands by the side of your face
*engage your core and lift from the tailbone up
