Child’s Pose is for Advanced Yoga Practitioners Only

Advanced practitioners recognize the importance of releasing their tight grip over an expected outcome (also known as non-attachment or aparigraha), achieving an advanced shape (straight handstand or pincha mayurasana), or over-exerting themselves during the vinyasa flow portion of a yoga class. But what surrendering into child’s pose really means for the more experienced yogis is letting go of their ego-driven mentality.
