Child's pose isn't restful for me with a bigger belly and chest. How can I adapt it?

Teachers call it a resting pose, but folded over my belly I can't breathe well and it feels anything but restful.

  Take the knees wide, toes together, and place a bolster or two blocks lengthways under your chest. Your belly has space between the thighs and the breath comes back.

  You can also rest your forehead on stacked fists or a block. Rest is the point, not the exact shape.
