Yoga Pose for Everyone

Posted on by SandraJ

Many people look at the snapshots and videos of yoga poses and think there’s no way in the world they’ll be able to do that.

That’s just not true.

The legs-up-the-wall pose is a yoga pose for everyone. It’s a great pose to do with your children or your grandchildren.

“Viparita karani (vip-par-ee-tah car-AHN-ee) is a gentle restorative pose. This slightly inverted pose can ease busy mind chatter and may relieve uncomfortable symptoms like tension and menstrual cramps. You may enjoy practicing this pose with a block, folded blanket, or pillow under your hips to lift your hips above the plane of your heart. “
