Place chair on mat. Lie down on back in front of chair. Baby may rest on abdomen. Extra weight of baby on mother’s abdomen relaxes back. Bend knees and rest lower legs on chair seat. Relax head, upper arms, and back on mat.
Inhale and expand chest. Exhale and press lower back firmly into mat. With each exhalation lengthen lower back muscles by flattening back on mat.
If baby is asleep, close your eyes and rest. Release jaw and facial muscles and allow lower back to relax.
To release, place baby on mat, remove legs from chair, bend knees toward chest, roll onto one side, and sit up.
This pose removes leg fatigue and reduces back tension.
