Bala Asana

The bala-asana gently stretches and relaxes the shoulders, neck, back muscles, hips, thighs, and ankles. It calms the brain and helps relieve stress and fatigue.It relieves back and neck pain when done with head and torso supported.

The bala-asana is one of the more relaxing Yoga postures and can easily be done by beginners. As part of your Yoga routine it is best used as a counter-pose to any posture that stretch the spine backward (such as the naga-asana, the dhanura-asana, the chakra-asana, the ushtra-asana, etc.)
