6) Child's Pose
How to do it: Sit kneeling with big toes touching, knees wide apart. Inhale the arms up, exhale folding forwards resting the forehead on the floor. Hold for 10 breaths.
Why it works: Child's pose is calming for the body, mind and breath. Doing this pose with knees apart allows you to gain its benefits without applying pressure to the abdominal area.
