i could literally stay in childās pose for hours but i fear when i came out of it i would have a permanent red circle on my forehead. it opens the hips and releases built up tension, it clears the sinuses, it relieves headaches, itās a good stretch for the shoulders, it stimulates the third eye pointā¦yoga with adriene describes it as āentering your own personal love caveā because when you open your eyes, all you see is the little spaces between your nose and your knees and your mat, and it makes me feel like iām chillin in the womb again in the best way. if people hit childās pose more often i think there would be peace on earth.
