Happy Baby
The Happy Baby pose (also known as Ananda Balasana) is a yoga and Pilates stretch. Because of its soft, calming action and numerous health advantages, the Happy Baby Pose is frequently incorporated into these two types of training. The pose is properly termed "happy baby" since you'll resemble a baby resting on its back when in this position - lying on your back and grasping your feet. Happy Baby Pose is a simple technique that is suitable for beginners. There are 4 steps to do the Happy Baby pose.
- First, on the floor or a mat, lie flat on your back.
- Secondly, bend your knees at a 90-degree angle toward your chest with your head flat on the mat. Turn your feet up toward the ceiling with the soles of your feet facing up.
- Thirdly, grab and grasp the inside or outside of your foot as you reach forward. Shift your knees toward your armpits by spreading them apart.
- Finally, gently rock from side to side while flexing your heels into your hand (like a happy baby). Hold this position for many breaths, deeply inhaling and expelling.
- The Happy Baby Pose stretches the inner thighs, hamstrings, and groin while also releasing the hips and back, increasing flexibility and mobility. It's one of the best yoga poses you can do in bed before you sleep.
