Child Pose. A “self care” and a “self love” yoga pose!

Giving your cares and worries to God is also self care and self love only on steroids! So why not give yourself the best results as you take a moment to rest in your child’s pose by including some Scripture and up the resting posture by going to the endless source of peace and strength. Because…. better than a just a child pose is Scripture that is filled with God’s promises to provide rest when we seek Him and He tells us to “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest!”

If your a practicing Yogi, you may see some version of this position in every yoga class. That’s because Child Pose is a resting pose, a go to pose when you need a break. When your experiencing a little stress or tension you can also add a stretch with the arms to each side while taking in deep inhales and breathing out slowly excess tension and stress. This will help to release tension in your neck and shoulders.

Anytime we position our arms over head helps to stimulate drainage of our lymph nodes located directly under our arms. Having our head lower lower than our heart boosts circulation and good circulation enhances all parts of our body including our brain and immune system.

It’s beneficial to stay in Child Pose for 10 really deep breaths to give our body time to relax. Then simply slip an arm under and breath deeply for 10 more. Then we repeat everything with our other arm slipped under.

 

Thanks for joining me.

Keep calm and yoga on!
