The first exercise of each day! Child's Pose


Begin every morning with this simple yoga stretch.  Begin on your knees.  Slowly sit back until you are sitting on your ankles.  Use your weight to stretch the ankles without pain. Slowly bend forward until your forehead touches the floor. Then slide your arms above your head as far as you can without causing pain.  Now be restful.  Pray or say affirmations.  Relax and feel the ankles, knees hips, spine, shoulders stretch. Be Calm. Hold this stretch for as long as you like.  Twenty seconds minimum. If you want to watch a video:
