This is the simplest of all pose but with no ordinary benefits.
How to do:
- Sit upright with legs crossed.
- Rest the hands on the knees with the palms facing up.
- Evenly balance the weight across the sit bones.
- Keep the head, neck, and spine aligned all along.
- Elongate the spine but without stiffing the neck.
- The feet and thighs should be relaxed.
- Retain this posture for a minute.
- Release and change the cross-legged position.

Benefits: Good for the back, thighs, and hips; gives a stretch to the knees and feet; and helps in negating anxiety and stress
Caution: If your kid’s hips are tight and they are finding it difficult to sit flat, prop them up with a folded blanket or firm pillow under the hips.
