Things You'll Need:
- Yoga mat
- Loose, comfortable clothing
-
Step 1
Let your partner come into child’s pose on his knees with his feet together, knees slightly apart, bent forward from the hips and forehead resting on the floor. Instead of having your partner bring his arms to his sides, he should rest them next to his ears, extending them from the shoulders to the tips of his fingers.
-
Step 2
Face away from your partner, standing upright, and bring your tailbone down to rest on your partner’s tailbone, bending at the knees, as if sitting on stool. Make sure not to put all of your weight down on him.
-
Step 3
Lean back slowly onto your partner’s back, bringing the fingertips of both hands down to the floor next to the sides of your partner. You will use your arms as leverage to bring yourself fully into the pose.
-
Step 4
Roll your back, almost vertebrae by vertebrae, onto your partner’s back until your shoulders come to rest on your partner’s shoulders.
-
Step 5
Let your hands rest on the floor out to your sides, palms up, and extend your legs out, straightening your knees and resting the heels of both feet on the floor.
-
Step 6
Hold this position for 30 to 60 seconds before coming out of the pose.
-
Step 7
Repeat Steps 1 through 6, changing positions for who is in child's pose and who assumes the back-bend.
