Pose of the Week

Balasana
Childs Pose

This is a great asana to take during a practice when you need to take time to regroup or as a stand-alone posture to help open the hips, stretch out the fronts of the thighs and the ankles. You can keep your knees together and take them apart. Arms can be at your sides or stretched out in front of you. Be sure to press the hips down towards the heels. Stay in this posture anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes. Listen to your body and let it tell you what it needs. Below is a link for a quick video of this asana:
