Wall Straddle heart emoticon (Wall Yin)

Have you ever have one of those days where you didn't want to do anything ? You know you should practice some yoga, but your get up and go has got up and went? Where can you go for that support ? Well, your support may be as close as any wall! Put on some soothing music(,no need for shiny gold pants like mine) clear a space by your longest wall, grab a watch (preferably with a timer) and a cushion or blanket, and settle in.

You will need a bit of space for this one.. Start with your legs straight up the wall (or your variation of that) and then simply let gravity draw the legs apart, your feet sliding down the wall. Reach that position where the sensations are just right. When you want a little more, you can try resting your hands on your inner thighs. No need to pull though: allow your muscles to relax. Stay here for 3~5 or (10) minutes. When you are ready to come out, use your hands to push your legs together.
This pose relives fatigue in the legs and feet.
Soothes the nervous system,calms the mind,relieves back pain,headache,symptoms of arthritis,increases circulation and much more.
