Happy Baby Pose is a grounding posture that stretches the inner thighs, groin, and hamstrings. Also known as Ananda Balasana in Sanskrit or “Dead Bug Pose”, Happy Baby Pose creates space by opening up the chest, shoulders, and hips. Happy Baby Pose is known to relieve lower back pain, lengthen the spine, and improve heart rate. Energetically, Happy Baby Pose relieves stress and calms the mind. Happy Baby is a relaxing, beginner posture typically used at the end of practice before the final posture, Svanasana, or Corpse Pose.
To do Happy Baby Pose, lay on your back, bring the soles of the feet to the sky while bending the knees towards the armpits. Grab the soles of the feet and pull towards the head, keeping the knees bent at a 90-degree angle and the shoulders on the ground.
