Child\u2019s Pose<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This therapeutic pose helps stretch your spine, thighs, pelvis and hips which are generally tight in the morning. If your posture has been wrong while sleeping, this pose can really help. It is one good way to start your day on a healthy and positive note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need cushioning for your knees while performing this stretch. Do this stretch on a yoga mat or a carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Begin from a kneeling position.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Raise your arms above the head.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slowly move your arms down, stretching forward until your torso and palms are on the floor or as close to the floor as comfortable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Push your hands forward away from your body as far as you can reach.
