My favorite yoga instructor Starlite has us sit in this for who knows how long (time ceases to exist) and it’s a phenomenal practice of detaching from your thoughts and feelings and finding a sense of peace even when uncomfortable. I find myself craving this pose and I can feel when my body needs it. I choose to believe that it somehow is beneficial to my entire system because years ago I decided to look up the soles of the feet through the lens of reflexology and I remember there being pressure points for every organ. I am a better functioning human thanks to broken toe pose, and you can be too 🙏

i could literally stay in child’s pose for hours but i fear when i came out of it i would have a permanent red circle on my forehead. it opens the hips and releases built up tension, it clears the sinuses, it relieves headaches, it’s a good stretch for the shoulders, it stimulates the third eye point…yoga with adriene describes it as “entering your own personal love cave” because when you open your eyes, all you see is the little spaces between your nose and your knees and your mat, and it makes me feel like i’m chillin in the womb again in the best way. if people hit child’s pose more often i think there would be peace on earth.

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
