How To Do The Legs To The Wall or Viparita Karani Pose?

Viparita Karani Pose

Viparita Karani Pose, also known as Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose, is a restorative yoga pose that involves lying on the back with the legs extended vertically up a wall. This gentle inversion allows for increased circulation and blood flow to the upper body and head, while also relieving tension in the legs and lower back. The pose is often practiced to reduce stress and anxiety, calm the mind, and promote relaxation. Additionally, Viparita Karani can help to alleviate symptoms of insomnia, menstrual cramps, and digestive issues. It is a simple yet effective pose that can be easily incorporated into a daily yoga practice for overall health and well-being. One of the most beneficial postures for athletes, it calms the mind and helps release muscle and joint tension after training.
