Child's Pose
Child's pose folds the hips toward the heels with arms extended or by the sides—quieting the nervous system and easing lumbar flexion after hard sessions. Knees wide or narrow change hip stretch.

Breathe into the back body for one to three minutes between intervals or before bed wind-down. Pad knees and ankles if floor pressure stings.
Not a substitute for hip mobility drills when range is limited.
Common questions
-
Can I use child's pose between work sets?
Yes for breath recovery—keep it short so muscles do not cool excessively before heavy sets.
-
What if my hips do not reach heels?
Place a folded towel between hips and heels or widen knees—comfortable spine length matters most.
