I was a Happy Baby

Let me introduce you to one of my favourite Yoga poses. It is called the Happy Baby pose.


This pose helps to release the lower back and stretch your hamstring muscles. But I plain like it because it's fun. And you'll see why soon enough. This is how you come to be a Happy Baby:

1. Lie on the back.
2. Bend the knees into the chest.
3. Open the knees, bringing them towards the armpits.
4. Stack each ankle directly over the knee, so that the shins are perpendicular to the floor.
5. Flex the feet.
6. Hold the outer edges of the feet at you draw the knees towards the floor.

An extra move that you could do is while holding the pose, rock from side to side slowly. It's like being in a swing. And this is why it's fun!

As you can see, there is nothing mantra-ish about it.
