Hello love, so for today we have got Ananda balasana, or “happy baby,” and it's very popular in contemporary practice. Its benefits include stretching the outer hips, inner groins, chest, and shoulders, lengthening the spine, and releasing tension in the low back. It is a great preparation for many seated poses. This pose resembles a reclining squat, and it offers a great alternative for people who cannot squat while bearing weight through their knees.
