Wind Relieving Pose

Wind Relieving Pose is usually introduced at the end of a yoga class or calming yoga sequence. Have children stay in this pose for a couple of breaths, before they settle into their final resting pose. 

This pose is a part of our most popular calming sequence – Nighttime Stretches, and the book Waiting for Wings.
