Find rest and relief with Viparita Karani, “legs up the wall” pose. This passive pose stimulates the vagus nerve, inviting your nervous system to be calmed and soothed as you prepare for sleep. This is also a great practice for increasing circulation, reducing swelling in the legs, and relieving tired feet.
Legs up the wall pose may seem simple, but it has been used for thousands of years by yoga practitioners for its deeply balancing and restorative effects on the lymph, blood flow, and prana (life force energy).
If you are practicing on the floor, you might want a blanket or pillow to support your lower back, or try it on your bed or sofa! Find what feels good.
