Doesn't this pose look like it feels so good? Well it does! The person folded on the right feels the stretch in his hips, lower back, and shoulders, while the person on the left feels a great stretch in her quads and upper back. Plus it requires almost no effort since gravity is doing most of the work.

To see a detailed explanation of how to do this partner yoga pose just read more.
- Parter #1 (woman), sits down on her heels in Hero pose. Partner #2 (man) comes into Child's Pose, extending his arms on the ground beside Partner #1's thighs.
- Partner #1 reaches for Partner #2's arms and holds his forearms with her palms facing up. Partner #2 holds onto Partner #1's forearms with his palms facing down.
- Partner #2 presses his hips back towards his heels as Partner #1 leans her torso back. She'll pull on Partner #2's arms, which helps to lengthen through his spine and stretch his shoulders. Partner #1 engages her abs, to protect her from feeling any strain in her lower back.
- They both stay in this position for five breaths, gently release, and then switch roles.

LOVE child pose. I'm sure it is much better with a partner to deepen your stretch.
