Parighasana

This pose improves the flexibility of your child’s back, hips, spine, and thighs. It stimulates the abdominal organs and the lungs.

1. Kneel on a thick carpet or folded towel to protect your knees.

2. Extend your left leg on the side, keeping your heel on the floor. Anchor your right knee on the floor and curl your toes for extra support.

3. Slide your left hand onto your left leg so as to progressively reach your ankle, if possible.

4. Stretch your body to the left, right arm and fingers extended by your right ear, while looking up, if possible. Hold the pose for a few seconds while breathing normally.

5. Come back to the initial position.

6. Switch sides.
