Bedtime Yoga: Put your Legs Up!

8/30/2016

Been on your feet all day? Or sitting at desk? Putting your feet up is always a great idea and who knew that putting your legs up was actually a real Yoga pose.
Legs up the wall is also know as Viparita Karani in the Yoga world and really is that simple!

Great things about 'Legs up the Wall'
  • Get the same benefits of an inversion without having to balance on your head or do a handstand! (who wants to that before bed anyway?)
  • ​It's a restorative pose, meaning you can completely relax in it and you don't have to 'do' anything. 
  • Helps relieve swollen ankles and tired feet.
  • ​Gives the backs of the legs a nice little stretch.
  • Can help aid sleep, so great for helping insomnia.
How to do it.
  • Scootch up close to wall and put your legs up. 
  • If your hamstrings are tight you can just be a little further away from the wall.
  • To get an extra lift up pop a pillow under your bum.
  • Have your arms relaxed by your side or for a lovely chest openers put your arms into the hands up position.
  • Stay there for 5-15 minutes & RELAX......Zzzzzzzzz
Until next time. Happy relaxing. Sleep well friends.
