Rest in child's pose for one minute

Kneel and fold forward with your arms stretched out.

Why it helps

Child's pose is a restful stretch for the back and hips. It invites slow breathing and a pause in your day.

How to do it

1. Kneel on a mat with knees apart and toes together.
2. Sit back toward your heels and fold forward, arms in front.
3. Rest your forehead down and breathe slowly for a minute.

Make it easier

Put a pillow under your chest or forehead.

Make it harder

Walk your hands to each side for a deeper stretch.

Skip if kneeling hurts your knees.
