- Take a tabletop position using hands and knees.
- The knees should be directly below their hips, and toes curled.
- The wrists, elbows, and shoulders should be straight and perpendicular to the floor.
- Center the head in a neutral position with eyes looking at the floor.
- With an exhalation, arch the spine up towards the ceiling.
- Release the head towards the floor without forcing the chin towards the chest.
- Come back to the initial tabletop position while inhaling slowly.
Benefits: Relaxes and stretches the spine, neck, torso and the organs of the abdomen
Caution: If your kid faces difficulty while rounding their upper back, lay a hand above and between the shoulder blades for support.
