(LONDON) por Paula Tooths<\/p>\n

Child’s pose is an excellent resting pose that’s practiced in almost every yoga class. It is useful after strenuous postures like headstand in order to restore the body’s natural circulation or as a counter pose to back bends. It’s a very calming pose that can put you into a deep relaxation. The pose is called Child’s pose because you form the shape of a baby and your spine is curved naturally like a fetus.<\/p>\n

Karma moves in two directions. If we act virtuously, the seed we plant will result in happiness. If we act non-virtuously, suffering results.<\/q> Sakyong Mipham<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Performing Child’s Pose has many great benefits to the body and mind. Your head is lower then your heart, therefore you receive more circulation in the face. It works on muscle groups within the body and can be a natural therapy for relieving stress, anxiety, fatigue and depression.<\/p>\n
