    This document provides information on the benefits and contradictions of two yoga poses: Child's Pose and Downward Facing Corpse Pose. Child's Pose increases function of internal organs, raises parasympathetic activity, releases spinal muscles, and reduces anxiety, but may not be suitable for those with knee or spinal injuries. As an alternative, Downward Facing Corpse Pose involves placing a bolster in front of the practitioner and laying across it with knees bent to rest comfortably.
