    From The Child pose open the knees.

    Look forward or up. Looking up can cut circulation off. In yoga it is felt as a pressure that interrupts the flow of water. It may be more beneficial to look forward or do a combination of looking up and then forward. Push into a mild boundary while looking up if you hold this pose for a long time for better blood flow.

    This is one of the most effective ways to stretch the leg adductor muscles. A large percentage of the standing postures require this area to be flexible. A great improvement will be seen in many postures if this posture is practiced regularly. Make modifications for comfort and teach this posture without the backbend if they are beginners.
