The end of the year and the holiday season can be a time of increased activity, stress, and stimulation. To combat these seasonal challenges, consider incorporating Legs Up The Wall pose (viparita karani) into your daily routine.
Benefits of Legs Up The Wall
- Provides deep rest and rejuvenation
- Encourages introspection and self-reflection
- Relieves tired legs and improves circulation
- Promotes a different perspective and altered state of mind
- Has a cooling effect on the body and mind
How to Perform Legs Up The Wall
- Gather a yoga mat, a small cushion, and an eye pillow.
- Find a quiet space by a wall where you won’t be disturbed.
- Place the short edge of your mat against the wall.
- Place your cushion mid-way down your mat.
- To come into the pose, sit sideways close to the wall, toward the edge of your mat.
- Carefully lower your outer shoulder to the floor, roll onto your back, and swing your legs up the wall.
- Make any adjustments to your position so you are lying straight and comfortably on your mat.
- Squish your cushion under your head and neck for support.
- Wriggle and re-adjust until everything feels comfortable.
- Cover your eyes and allow yourself to melt into the pose.
Hold the pose for 3-20 minutes, or as long as you feel comfortable.
To come out of the pose, draw your knees into your chest. Roll out to one side and lie there for a moment. When you are ready, sit up and take a few moments to notice how you feel.
