Childs pose

We start with one of the most comforting poses in yoga: balasana.

Sit on your heels, stretch your arms forward, and lower your forehead to the floor.

This asana relieves tension in the back, shoulders, and mind.

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and feel the stress melt away.

Keep your back straight and breathe deeply.

And let all that anxiety slide right out of your body!

Simply lie on your back, legs and arms straight, eyes closed, and breathe naturally.

Thisyoga pose for beginnersallows the body and mind to relax completely.

Candle Pose

Sarvangasana is a treat for your nervous system.

It will improve blood circulation, calm your mind, and revitalize your whole being.

You have to try it after a hard day!

Happy baby pose

If you’re looking for an extra dose of joy, try Ananda balasana.

Lie on your back, bend your knees toward your chest, and support your feet with your hands.

Perfect posture

We close with sukhasana, which in Sanskrit means pleasure, comfort, or well-being.

Sit in a comfortable position, stretch your spine, and close your eyes.

Concentrate on your breath and the feeling of calm that flows through you.

You’ll feel ready to rest like a baby!
