Child Pose With Mini Ball FAQs
What are the teaching directions?
Kneel on the floor, toes together, knees hip distance apart. Lean forward, drape body over thighs. Place hands on the mini ball. Extend arms.
What’s a good modification?
Push the Mini Ball away for a deeper stretch.
Why is Child Pose the go-to resting posture in a yoga and pilates class?
Child Pose (Balasana) is a yoga teacher’s go-to resting posture because it’s a chance to get some rest before the next series of poses.
In a yoga (and pilates) class, the teacher will usually get you a Child pose after a fast-paced vinyasa sequence, a long hold in a pose like the Downward Facing Dog Pose or Plank Pose, or a challenging inversion like Shoulderstand Pose.
It is also a counter pose for the Upward Facing Dog Pose and other back extensions like the Cobra Pose.
What is the Sanskrit name?
Balasana.
It is also know as Bidalasana, Billisana, Shashankasana, and Viralasana.
What are the physical benefits?
Stretches hips, thighs, and ankles.
Relieves back pain.
What are some Modifications?
A) Interlock fingers behind back.
B) Knees together (instead of separated).
C) Curl the toes under (instead of flat).
D) Place a rolled towel under your shins (take the stress off of your ankles).
E) Place a yoga blanket underneath the knees for padding.
F) Place a folded towel underneath the knees for padding.
G) For a Yin variation, place a bolster or pillow under your stomach or chest and stay for up 10 minutes.
H) Go deeper into the hip stretch by spreading your knees wider.
