Taking time for ourselves is self-healing and is a necessity for all of us living in these times of high stress, tension, and unpredictability.

After a long day, treat yourself by starting with Viparita Karani – legs up the wall. This powerful inversion aids the return of blood flow to the legs and returns of lymph fluids throughout the entire body. In addition to stabilizing blood pressure, it is a great relief for lower back pain, abdomen tenderness, and swelling.

These poses are meant to help to relieve tension and restore energy. Being therapeutic in nature makes these postures nurturing and healing. Because your body is supported you can hold for longer, soaking in the benefits at a cellular level. This sequence will help you to restore the hormonal balance and stabilize emotions, soothe the nervous system, quiet the agitated mind and promote sleep. Something we all need.

Enjoy and take care of yourself by practicing regularly.

This sequence includes:

Viparita Karani ( Legs up The Wall Pose )

Supta Baddha Konasana ( Reclining Bound Angle Pose )

Forward Upavistha Konasana ( Forward Wide Legged Seated Forward Bend )

Baddha Konasana ( Bound Angle Pose )

Sarvangasana with chair ( Shoulder Stand with Chair )

Setu Bandha Sarvangasana ( Bridge Pose )

Prone Savasana ( Prone Corpse Pose )
