A restful 8-minute Legs Up the Wall pose to calm your nervous system and help you wind down for sleep.
Adriene guides Viparita Karani, the passive legs-up-the-wall pose, to calm and soothe your nervous system as you prepare for sleep. It also supports circulation and can relieve tired feet and swollen legs. You can practise on the floor with a blanket or pillow under your lower back, or on a bed or sofa, and the video runs about 8 minutes.
Who Is It For?
Anyone who wants a calming, passive way to wind down before bed, or who has tired feet and legs after a long day.
Who Is It Not For?
Not ideal if you want an active workout, or if you have a medical condition that makes inverted positions unsuitable for you.
Key Benefits
Calms the nervous system, supports circulation and eases tired, swollen legs and feet, helping you settle into sleep.
Things to Keep in Mind
Support your lower back with a blanket or pillow, come out of the pose slowly and check with your doctor if you have health concerns.
