Lie on back on mat or rug with legs extended. Support head with small pillow if desired. Place baby beside you. Bend left knee. Place left foot on front of right thigh. Right leg on mat may be straight or slightly bent.
Inhale, expand chest, and hold left knee with right hand. Exhale, twist hips to right and press knee toward floor. Extend left arm on mat, roll left shoulder toward floor, turn head, and look over left arm. Breathe normally.
Change sides. Bend right knee, place right foot on left thigh, and press right knee toward floor. Legs move toward left. Spine, shoulders, and head twist toward right.
To release, bend both knees toward chest, roll over onto one side, and push up to a sitting position.
This pose stretches outer hip, back, and shoulder muscles.
