Child’s Pose: A Grounding Refuge
Kneel, touch big toes together, and sink hips toward heels. Let knees widen, fold your torso down, and rest your forehead. Soften shoulders and jaw, breathe slowly, and imagine your back broadening with every exhale.
Place a pillow under your chest or hips if your knees feel sensitive. Keep arms forward for length or alongside your body for surrender. If breathing feels tight, rise slightly and add support until your breath flows easily.
