5 yoga poses to re-energise

5. Viparita Karani – Legs up the wall

This is a restorative version of shoulder stand that nourishes the nervous system

Step 1 

Using a wall and a folded blanket to support your head.

Step 2

Lie down on your back with your sitting bones pressed against the wall, extending both legs up, and allowing them to rest against the wall. You may have to shuffle your bum up to achieve this and are looking to achieve a 90-degree angle through the body.

Step 3

Once settled, close your eyes and start relaxing deeply into the pose, allow the back of the head to be heavy, allow the pelvis to sink into the floor and the leg muscle switch off.

Breathing deeply, relax here for 5 – 15 minutes.
