1. Balasana - child's pose
Come to a kneeling position, sinking hips towards heels;
Bring your big toes to touch, then separate knees about hip-width apart;
Walk your hands forward, extending your arms in front of you, keep them by your sides or fold them to rest your forehead;
Rest your forehead on the mat or on a block or cushion for extra support - a bolster along the front of the body may also be used;
Breathe deeply into the back of the body, let each exhale release you deeper into the pose
