3 reasons why you should be resting while holding your knees

Especially after a strenuous workout!

🦥 Releases the tension in your lower back and hips, where emotional stress is commonly stored. Massaging these areas and your intestinal region can have a calming effect on your nervous system.


🫁 Makes it easier to breathe deeply. Like child’s pose, this position assists in correcting the lower back spine curvature but without the breathing constraint that results when you compress the ribs. Resting with your knees pulled close is a calming way to recover from a workout. When your breathing steadies, you can ease into child’s pose. 


🫀Returns the heart-beat back to normal, by flipping the direction of blood flow in the arms and thighs. Remaining in this posture for a while is similar to performing an inversion, like shoulder stand. It’s particularly advantageous for alleviating high blood pressure.
