Viparita Karani ~ legs up the wall. Or in the air, on my lunch break, in this case.
This restorative inversion is like a big long exhale for the nervous system, and an excellent posture to do if your feet are feeling hot or swollen or you have been on your feet all day. Add in some ankle rotations and some gentle hip stretches and bob’s your uncle.
If you don’t have the flexibility in the hamstrings, hovering them in the air is not going to be as comfortable or achievable, however using the wall, couch, chair or anything to support the legs will work beautifully and is going help transition the body into a restful state, and ease any tension in the mind.
Highly recommend for this muggy weather, and if you’ve just had one of those days…. Give it a try, I’d love to hear in the comments below how you found it. Peace out my friends. ✌️
