A resting/restorative pose.  Come back to this pose at any point during your practice. 

Begin in table pose with the tops of the feet on the floor.  Lower the buttocks to the heels, bringing the chest close to the thighs.  The knees can be together, or spread for those with larger chests or bellies.  Lower the forehead to the floor or a block.  Arms can be stretched long in front (for Extended Child's Pose) or they can rest comfortably alongside the body.  If arms are stretched in front, be mindful to keep the shoulders relaxed and away from the ears.  If arms are alongside the body, flip the palms up, letting the shoulders release into the mat.

*The knees spread modification should be used during pregnancy.*

**Never perform, or stay in, a pose that doesn't feel right for your body.**
