Happy Baby

Technique

How to perform Happy Baby

1. Lie on your back and bend your knees toward your chest.
2. Hold the outsides of your feet, or use your ankles or calves if that suits your reach.
3. Open your knees outside your torso with the soles facing upward.
4. Use gentle hand pressure to bring your knees toward your armpits while keeping your head and pelvis resting on the floor.
5. Let your back rest naturally rather than forcing every part of the spine flat.
6. Breathe steadily without forcing the hip position, then release your feet and lower your legs.
