Here is a simple, yet amazing yoga pose to try out.
For Relieving Belly Weight: Wide-Knee Child’s Pose
Balasana or Child Pose
Kneel on the ground, butt on heels, top of feet against the floor, big toes touching, and knees wider than hip-width apart. Slowly bring chest to the mat, allowing your body to come between legs. Extend arms overhead, touching forehead to the mat. Or lay arms alongside the body with palms facing up if that feels more comfortable.
