Question 1 of 2

What shape do you make in child's pose?

The story

Quarky learns child's pose, folding gently forward into a cozy little shape, breathing slowly, and letting his whole body feel held and safe. He learns that resting in a pose is real practice too.

What you'll learn

  • Child's pose is a cozy folded shape where your body can feel held and safe.
  • Resting poses count as practice, just as much as active ones.
  • Calm takeaway: resting your body can be powerful.
  • Quarky takeaway: it is okay to take a cozy break whenever you need one.
