This supine variation of Supported Child’s pose is a great alternative for those with hip, knee, or ankle problems, or any other issues that mean they can’t do the classic version of Child’s pose or Supported Child’s pose without pain. And it’s also a relaxing and restorative option for those who can do the classic pose. For this pose, you’ll need a bolster, either an official yoga bolster or one that you make from a firm body pillow or a couple of blankets rolled into a bolster shape.
