Childs
Pose Resume
a sitting position on your heels, sitting tall. Keeping your arms
by your side, gently bend forward until your forehead rests on
the ground, allowing your hands to rest on the ground next to
your feet.
Remain in this position for ten seconds then inhale up to a sitting
position. Repeat several times. This posture gently stretches
the spine, aids digestion and improves circulation.
Sitting Forward Bend
Sit
on the floor with your legs together in front of you and gently
turn your feet up towards your body. Sitting up tall extend your
arms above your head as you inhale.

As
you exhale fold in half from the hips. Hold this position breathing
slowly for several moments then inhale up to a sitting position.
Repeat three times. This posture stretches the muscles down the
back of your body and gently massages the digestive organs, easing
constipation and gently stimulating the nervous system.
