Lie on mat or rug with buttocks touching wall and legs up wall. Widen legs side- ways, press backs of knees to wall, and extend heels. Relax inner thighs.
Place baby on abdomen or on mat beside you. Completely relax back, shoulders, upper arms, and head on mat. If desired, add a small pillow behind head.
If baby is asleep, close your eyes and completely relax. Breathe slowly and smoothly, expanding rib cage sideways with each inhalation. Relax facial muscles.
Remain in pose 5 to 10 minutes. To release, lay baby beside you, slowly bend knees toward chest, roll onto one side, and sit up with back resting against wall.
This relaxing pose stretches inner leg muscles.
