Looking for a simple yet effective way to relax after a busy day? Tired after an intense workout or long run?

Some have even suggested that it helps to relieve headaches.
3. Adjust your position by scooting your tailbone toward the wall – it doesn’t need to touch the wall 4. Find a comfortable position with your arms – you can place them alongside your body, over your head or wherever is most comfortable for youLegs up the wall yoga poseKristina Rihanoff, an experienced and qualified yoga teacher at Sooyoga, tells: “This semi-reclining pose combined with deep slow breathing leads to a slowing down of all systems within the body and helps with lowering the heart rate, which results in reducing anxiety, stress and insomnia.
Rihanoff explains that “those with medical conditions such as hernia, hypertension or glaucoma” should avoid practising the pose. As with all yoga poses, make sure to avoid any poses that cause you pain or extreme discomfort. Because inversions make the heart work harder to pump more blood to the lower parts of the body, anyone with heart conditions should check with their doctor before practising this pose.
