Are you being lazy in child’s pose?
Let’s change that. Child’s Pose is good as a restorative pose, but it can also be even more effective as an ACTIVE restorative pose.
To make it active, watch the video and pay attention to the emphasis on muscle engagement. The end result is a more effective, long-term solution to the underlying causes of back pain and discomfort in your mid-back, spine, and neck.
Keep your abs tight like you’re doing a plank. Straighten your arms, lock out your elbows, and squeeze your arms toward one another. Hold for at least 30 seconds, and up to 90 seconds. You can do this up to 3 times per day. I recommend in the morning, the mid-afternoon (after lunch), or at the end of the day to help restore posture.
