Yoga pose of the week- Leg-Against-Wall

This is a simple inversion that is very gentle and wonderful for relieving swollen and tired feet, improving circulation in the legs and hips, has a calming effect on the nervous system and can relieve PMS and menstrual pain.

If you experience any discomfort with this pose, an easier version is to use a chair for your legs. You can stay in this pose for an extended period of time (5-10 minutes) as long as it feels comfortable. For added benefits, combine it with a breathing exercise or mantra. Try breathing in slowly for 4 counts and breathing out for 4 counts. Adjust the count to your level and increase it as your breath improves. Relax and enjoy!
