Balasana (bah-LAHS-anna)

 

Child’s Pose.

Fire up your Ujjayi breath, and start to connect.

Step 1
Knee’s go out wide,
Big toes to touch,
& rest your third eye onto your mat.
.
.
Exhale. Empty out all of your stale air from this breath.
Inhale to stay. Take one more sip of air at the top of your breath.
x3 breath cycles
.
.
Step 2
Sink your hips closer to the earth.
Feel the energy extend through your fingertips.
Inhale & feel your ribs expand out.
.
.
Breathe out for 4 seconds.
Breathe in for 4 seconds.
x3 breath cycles
.
.
Step 3
Feel your hands press into the mat.
Slide your shoulders down your back,
& lengthen your tail bone away from the crown of your head.
.
.
Exhale. Melt your chest into the earth.
Inhale, fill up with love, light, and gratitude.
x3 breath cycles
.
.
Tips
– Balasana is a resting pose that you can hold for however long you wish, but 30 seconds is a good place to start.
– Fire up your Ujjayi breath, and in tune in to how your body feels // where your energy is.
– Resting your forehead (third eye) on the earth helps calm your mind.
– Folding over your legs helps elongate your lower back, and it opens up your hips.
– Please feel free to use this pose any time in your practice, especially when you want to come back to your breath.

    Hi. Very interesting content but it’s hard to find gentlesoulyogi.com in search results.
    You are out of google’s top ten, so you can’t expect big traffic.
    You need hi quality backlinks to rank in serps. And you
    can get them for free, just search in google: forbesden’s tools

      Hi Kattie. Thank you for your perspective. I really just created this blog as an online tool for myself instead of writing in my journal. In the future, maybe I will want more traffic if I post more frequently. For now, I’m completely content with the way it is. Thank you for finding my blog!
