A practice of peace, Child's Pose is highly influential for working mothers. Being a mother in this challenging world is not an easy task. You have to face a number of difficulties while dealing with your personal and professional life. When stress attacks you, find shelter in the calming shadow of this beautiful pose. Shishuasana (Shishu means a child) throws away all those unwanted thoughts from your mind to help you concentrate on things that matter. Kneel down on the floor with the toes kept together. As you inhale, bend forward to put your torso between the thighs and face on the ground. Press your hands on the ground and free up all your body parts to feel relaxed. 15 minutes of Shishuasana is a gem for a stress-free life.

As caregivers, it's crucial for mothers to also care for themselves. Yoga helps.

Step by Step

Step 1
Sit in a comfortable asana and make Mrigi Mudra. Beginning pranayama students may have some difficulty holding their raised arm in position for the length of the practice. You can put a bolster across your legs and use it to support your elbow.

Step 2
Gently close your right nostril with your thumb. Inhale through your left nostril, then close it with your ring-little fingers. Open and exhale slowly through the right nostril.

Step 3
Keep the right nostril open, inhale, then close it, and open and exhale slowly through the left. This is one cycle. Repeat 3 to 5 times, then release the hand mudra and go back to normal breathing. (NOTE: some yoga schools begin this sequence by first closing the left nostril and inhaling through the right; this order is prescribed in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, 2.7-10).

Step 4
Traditionally Nadi Shodhana includes breath retention, fixed ratio breathing, and the repetition of certain "seed" mantras (cf. Gheranda Samhita 5.38-54). For beginning pranayama students, it's best to focus only on the inhales and exhales.
