How this works is easy. A picture of a stretch or yoga pose is posted and then you execute it, hold it for the set amount of time and then post the next stretch for the next person.
Balasana (child’s pose)
How to do it: Kneel on the floor. With you big toes together, sit on your heels and then separate your knees about hip width. Exhale as you lay your torso between your thighs. Lengthen your tailbone away from the back of the pelvis. Lift the base of your skull away from the back of your neck. Place your hands alongside your torso, palms up, relaxing the fronts of the shoulders to the floor. Hold for one to three minutes. Notice the light feeling of the entire front body pushing against the thighs as you inhale, and the tight feeling of drawing the entire front body back to the spine on the exhale.
