@claudebolts: Child’s pose will always be one of my go-to postures when I want to feel grounded and bring my nervous system back towards a more regulated state. ( which since becoming a parent is a tool I keep coming back to) But there isn’t just one way to take it. Depending on what my body needs that day, I might: • take the knees wide for more space through the hips • keep the knees together for a more contained, comforting feeling • support my head with a block or cushion • place a bolster underneath my chest for extra softness • stretch the arms forward, placing my hands on a bolster The best version is the one that allows you to soften, breathe and feel supported. Yoga doesn’t always need to be about doing more. Sometimes it’s simply about finding a shape that tells the body, you can soften here. #childspose #yogafornervoussystem #restorativeyoga #nervoussystemregulation #yogateacher
