🧘♀️Have You Tried Legs-Up-the-Wall Yet?
One of the most simple and soothing poses in yoga can offer a whole bunch of benefits — and all you have to do is lie down and let your legs rest up the wall. Yep, it’s really that easy!
Here’s why it’s worth a few minutes of your day:
💤 It helps with insomnia, stress, and anxiety
💪 Relieves tired feet, swollen legs, and even lower back tension
💖 Encourages relaxation and circulation, especially helpful after a long day on your feet or after exercise
🌀 Supports lymphatic flow and can reduce swelling – great after travel or if you’ve been sitting/standing for long stretches
🤰 Wonderful for prenatal yoga – offering relief for sore legs and supporting pelvic floor relaxation
🌿 May help ease headaches, nausea, and fatigue
🦵 Therapeutic for conditions like fibromyalgia, menopause symptoms, varicose veins, restless legs, and more
How long should you stay?
Even just 3–5 minutes can make a difference, though up to 15 minutes is ideal if you’re comfy. If your legs feel tingly, it’s totally fine to come down early or adjust your position.
🌟 Let’s Try It Together:
We’ll guide you into the pose with gentle support and help you find a comfortable setup — whether that means using a folded blanket, a cushion, or just your mat.
Once you’re settled, we’ll pause there for a few peaceful minutes while I lead you through calming breathwork — helping your body settle, your mind quiet, and your energy gently reset.
Tips for Getting Cozy:
If your hamstrings are tugging, scoot a little away from the wall.
Want to elevate with support? Use a folded blanket or bolster under the hips — just let your sitting bones drape off the edge and keep the prop a few inches from the wall.
No support? Try gently pressing the sacrum into the floor for a light back curve, then relax completely.
Perfect to add to your wind-down routine tonight!
