Happy Baby Pose
(Ananda Balasana)
​
Lie on your back and draw your knees gently to your chest, then reach up to grab the outer edges of your feet with your hands. Let your knees fall wide, creating space for your heart to open with innocent joy, and gently rock side to side like a baby discovering their own feet for the first time. Let a soft, genuine smile bloom on your face as you return to pure wonder and the sweet innocence of seeing everything with fresh eyes, just like a daisy radiating simple, untainted delight.
