If you're going to do only one yoga pose, Legs-up-the-wall is the answer because of the many effects! It is a mild inversion, an up side down pose, a restorative variation to shoulderstand.
Benefits of inverting the body:
- Calms the mind and relieves stress and anxiety
- Relieves lower-back tension
- Improves digestion and cirkulation
- Helps regulate blood pressure
Therapeutic for migranes, headaches, arthritis, insomnia, mild depression, menstrual cramps, PMS and menopausal symptoms...
You can do this pose almost anywhere as long as you have a wall, a tree or any other surface to exted the legs up against :) Personally I usually do this pose in bed to de-stress if I have trouble falling asleep.
Lie on your back with your sit bones as close to the wall as comfortable and extend the legs up. Your arms can rest by your side, on your belly or above the head. Option to elevate the hips on a block, blankets or pillows, finding a position that works for you.
Close the eyes and enjoy the pose from three minutes up to ten or 15 minutes for deeper relaxation :) Namaste

väldigt avslappnande att ligga sådär, då jag var lite brukade jag somna så ibland :D
