Embryo Pose

Benefits: Embryo pose releases tension in the upper back and lets your shoulders rest. Provides a gentle and relaxing stretch to the thighs, hips, ankles and lower back.

From your child pose simply bring your hands around and place them by your feet. You should be tucked into a fetal position with your head resting or the floor or a blanket if the floor is not comfortable.

Relax your shoulders completely.
