"I am child of the universe. I am safe and protected." Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy

Child pose is up there with my top favourite poses. It is so simple, yet so powerful. Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy believes that Child Pose engenders nurturing, caring for, and loving oneself. Some Yogi's say that, when held for longer periods of time, Child's pose is better than any other hip opener. Try it out! See what happens.

Here's how Yin Yoga describes getting into the pose.

As you explore this pose, ask yourself: "To what extent am I able to surrender to this moment, just as it is, without trying to fix, change, or figure anything out?" What do you notice?

Once again, no need for a long complicated Yoga practice. Simply surrender to the child within you!
