Legs at the Wall Posture (Viparita Karani)

Step 1: Find a wall with enough space around it to lie down.

Step 2: Get your bum as close to the wall as you can, then lie down and swing your legs up.

Step 3 (Optional): Lift your hips and place a cushion of any comfortable height underneath your pelvis- I’ve got a bolster under my pelvis and ribs so that my tailbone can hang comfortably. You adjust the cushion until you feel enough support.

Benefits: Helps to recirculate blood back towards the heart, lungs, and other vital organs. Having the hips above the heart helps to down-regulate the nervous system and create a sense of calm.
