Ananda Balasana (Happy Baby)
Featuring Jamie
Yoga Instructor & Reiki Practitioner
(Uh-NUHN-duh Buh-LUH-suh-nuh)
Allow yourself to relax and feel the ease in your hips and the joy in your heart as you rock side to side in Happy Baby Pose. Babies move this way naturally to discover new ways to experience the world. You can use this pose to check in with your breath, your thoughts, and the way your hips feel, and realize how Happy Baby can bring joy to any moment.
Benefits
Stretches the inner groins and the back spine.
Calms the brain and helps relieve stress and fatigue.
Directions
Lie on your back and bend your knees towards your chest.
Grab ahold of the outsides of your feet with your hands. Bring your knees slightly wider than your torso as you draw your knees down.
Flex your feet and breathe. Perhaps even rock side to side with a smile like a baby in this position.
Modifications
Place a strap around each foot and hold on to the strap as you drawn your knees in and down.
Reach for your calves or the back of your thighs with a bend in your knees instead of holding your feet.
Practice our pose of the month with us in your next Studio or Virtual class.
