A Month of Rest- Legs Up the Wall Pose

This upcoming month, let’s prioritize rest.

During December, I will be posting my favorite restorative practices that will allow us to find a quiet interlude during the chaos of the holiday season. Please join me online for a month of rest and rejuvenation.

It seems hard to believe that simply lying with your legs up the wall could make any difference to mental or physical health. But as yogis have known for thousands of years, it’s often the simplest postures with the most profound effects. From calming the nervous system to strengthening immune health, giving some much-needed time out, and even promoting longevity, this ancient posture has much to offer, especially in a world of stress and busyness.

Legs up the wall pose are intended to reverse and rebalance fluids, blood flow, and energy. It’s not just changing the flow of physical fluid that this posture can aid with, but the flow of prana or ‘life force energy.’
