🧎 Child’s Pose

A deeply restful pose that calms the mind and body. Lowering stress and cortisol is genuinely helpful for PCOS, so rest counts as part of the plan.

How to do it

Kneel on the floor, big toes together, knees comfortably apart.
Sit your hips back toward your heels.
Walk your hands forward and rest your forehead on the mat.
Let your chest melt toward the floor and relax your whole body.
Breathe slowly into your back for 1–3 minutes.

Posture & form

Let your shoulders and neck completely relax.
Widen your knees if it’s more comfortable for your belly.
Rest your forehead on a cushion if it doesn’t reach the floor.
Focus on slow, full breaths into your back.

Timing & how often

Rest here for 1–3 minutes anytime you feel tense, or to close a session. There’s no wrong amount.

Stay safe

Place a cushion under your hips or forehead for comfort. Ease out slowly if your knees feel strained.
