    This idea cured a persistent back pain I'd had all day, in about 5 minutes of just lying there with my legs up the wall. The effect was nothing short of miraculous.

    Wow. Like❤️. Done this exercise only for three days in the evening. Already paying off. First time felt terrible, my legs and lower back so stiff muscles . But tonight already so much better. Even my feet/ancles are better. Thank you.

    Excellent video. In our yoga class, legs up the wall is one of the ways of relaxing the body, after a physically invigorating vinyasa session.
    A couple of additional drills that can be included (based on what we practice).
    1. Before widening both the legs along the wall, one leg can be on the wall, and the other leg can be brought down along the wall to the floor to be perpendicular to the leg on the wall. Stay in this position for a few breaths, and slowly take the leg back along the wall to join the other leg. Repeat on the other side.
    2. Bend the knees to come to bound angle pose (badhdha konasana) and gently do a few rounds of butterfly flaps.

  • @charmainegordon394
    @charmainegordon394 9 месяцев назад

    I do these upside down on the recliner. The backup and the leg extension out and my legs up on the back of the recliner. The ability to move the back of the recliner up and down also facilitates in the intensity of the exercises. Good stuff especially when you don't have a wall to utilise or you don't want to be on the floor.

    I’m in fairly good shape and the “4’s” were easy for me but I was astonished at how taxing the rotations were, esp when my feet were closer together and then when they were at their widest. Thank you so very very much for this, I’ll continue these

    I can't even thank you enough for explaining how to get yourself in that position to begin with. I am 63, still work and am active but I am not flexible. Never was. Also bad knees. So, thank you again. Also, I have varicose veins with bad valves. I wear compression Stockings everyday and they are a life saver. I think that this will also help me immensely with that. Thank you so much again. P.S. I was so excited about you explaining how to get in the position to start that I subscribed to your channel. ❤

    WOW. The pose with the legs in a 4 position, then bent the other leg - that pose fired a trigger point in my glutes on both sides. I stayed at that a long spell. All the positions challenged me. I need this daily. My first time here and I'll be a regular.

      Omg! Is that true? I have been suffering from behind the knee swelling in both my legs, those that get tender sometimes. Not sure why they are happening and have been to two orthopaedic doctors. Nothing has worked so far. Yesterday I spotted swelling around my ankles too. I'll try this though I can't reduce the gap between my butt and the wall.

      If you start with your body a foot or so away from the wall, that would help. Tight hamstrings and then placing yourself too close to the wall tends to make it feel like you're being pushed away from the wall.
