Now, slowly lie back on the floor with the blanket under your hips. Slowly straighten up your legs and rest your heels on the wall. Your arms should be at your shoulder height with elbows bent and chest open. Stay in this position for 5 minutes or as long as you are comfortable and slowly get back to your initial position.

Child’s pose:

This is the simplest and also most comfortable pose in yoga. Sit on your legs and feet by kneeling down on the floor. If you are not comfortable, you can use a pillow or blanket to get better support for your knees. Stretch your arms right above your head.

Now, slightly widen your hips and bend forward to bring your torso closer to the floor and chest to your knees. You should also bring your arms in front of you with the head resting on the floor. Breathe normally and hold in this position as long as you are comfortable and slowly get back to your original position.
