How to do the Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose

1. Sit with one hip next to a wall, then lie back and swing your legs up in one smooth motion.
2. Scoot your hips as close to the wall as is comfortable and extend your legs straight up.
3. Rest your arms by your sides with palms up and breathe deeply.

Tips

• Keep your legs relaxed and knees soft.

Adjustments

• Move your hips a little farther from the wall if your hamstrings feel tight.
• Place a cushion or folded blanket under your hips for extra support.
