This gentle inversion will lengthen the backs of the legs and neck, open.Step 1 Sit sideways next to a wall, with the wall on your left. Step 2 Lie down on your right side, facing away from the wall with your butt touching it. Step 3 Using your arms, lift your legs up.
Find an open space near a wall and sit next to it, such that your feet are on the floor, spread in front of you, and the left side of your body is touching the wall. Exhale.

Kneel down with your back to the wall, and slide one hip up onto the bolster. Reach the same side arm forward and roll yourself onto your bolster ramp as you lift your legs up the wall.

Madam, this is my 2nd day of practice. I have 3 mild bulging discs in my lower spinal cord, so is it still safe for me to do this pose? Also I noticed that after 5 ms of doing this posture, my legs start aching, why is this? And will it improve with time? Please kindly let me know the answers, thank you in advance.

Hi Adriene, how are you? Are your legs flushed against the wall. I cant get my butt flushed against the wall
Should the support be placed under the buttocks or lower back?
I remembered doing this pose as our relaxing pose after 30mins doing different poses! I almost /always fell asleep: best for lower back: thank you beautiful Lady
I have been doing this pose nightly, and I definitely sleep better for having done it. I also believe that it helps my digestion and helps me to meditate at the end of a busy day.
When should I do this,in the morning or at night if do at night how much gaping should be there after dinner
I am 76, have never done yoga but would like to. I cannot do cross leg AT ALL, never have been able to even as a child. My hips simply do not open very much. Can I still do yoga?
When I started doing this pose my son joined me lol ♀️
This was a favorite of my college cross country team, especially after longer runs
Inspired by the awesomeness of this activity. Peace and blessings
Hi! I have L4-L5 disc bulge. Is this safe for me?
Request you to please have a video for all yoga flow for L4-L5 disc bulge.
I’m trying to do this but I can’t seem to do this. It’s so hard somehow. I have trouble with my legs and they feel so heavy!!!! Please help me to do this somehow.
Legs up the wall is MY FAVORITE for sure. I teach that all the time. Thanks for this great video!
I was outside thinking eh I’ll save this one. That I thought. Why not? So I scooted myself against the side of my house. Worked perfectly
One of my favourite. Pose s in YOGA!! And it will work for all!
Hey Adriene, thank you for all of the content you’ve created. I was able to use the Yoga for Grief video while I’ve been sheltering in place. My Grandmother died the first week of the virus outbreak in our area and I couldn’t travel for the funeral. It was very hard being so far away from family during that time but I shed many relieving tears during the yoga session. Now we are schooling at home and my daughter with autism needs more activity but she is easily overstimulated and disoriented from this upset in her routine. She enjoyed your video for hands and was able to correctly follow along. Would you ever consider creating a series for individuals with autism? Your calming approach and repetitive forms would be so great for this community and for everyone who struggles with core strength and body awareness due to neurological differences. I hope you are well. We are grateful for you! (& Benji:)
Why does this feel painful? Trying to incorporate this daily to lower cortisol and have a lot of pain in my back while in the pose
…I like using the stretchout strap with accompanying lower body stretches. Once legs up wall now try to replicate as many stretches as possible!!

My favorite yoga pose. Admittedly when my yoga instructor would take the class out of the pose I would silently say I want to just stay here.
After this pose when I sit I get severe needles and pins for some few minutes, is it normal?
i started tis during the lockdown, with a bit of variaton where i spread my legs the widest i can, like a widen V shape, painful at first, but then as days passed by, i feel very light and generally, a nice feeling then i do a frog pose on my bed… phewww!
What a beautiful and calming voice… as well as such a lovely gentle aura this lady gives off. I’ve been thinking about trying yoga for quite a while now, but ater watching & listening to this lady, I’ll certainly be looking towards more of her videos. Thank you.:)
Upper multi dimension of spine not safe and secure. You are start a wrong way. This is not correct. don’t try to teach others with a wrong ways
Is this suits both the gender?
What are all the conditions for when a male should not perform this exercise? @Caren Baginski

Hi, i have problem with my legs crossing specially the right leg. can you post a video how to overcome to this problem please.thank you kindly
Ma’am! Is it necessary to put something under ur head or back? because I don’t put
Nice. I often watch TV for hours by lying on my back on the bed and then supporting my two legs on the sidewall and I feel amazing after that.
You miss to discuss one vital aesthetical concern for most human beings today. One will have virtually no hair loss with this pose as there will be great blood supply to the scalp which otherwise hardly gets it in good amount because it is at the topmost position from the heart. The natural additional things that will happen will be reduction of stress and improvement of memory, concentration and sleep.
You can also lie on your bed (not the floor) and lift your legs up the wall.
This is so good for the inflammation in my legs. I suggest this move to anyone near me that will listen. It is so calming and rejuvenating.
Can we do this atleast 2 hrs after having dinner? Some where I read we need 6 hrs of food gap. Is that true?
Come facciamo noi che non sappiamo l’inglese esiste traduzione grazie
If you’re already comfortable getting into Legs Up the Wall, start the video at 3:03 for the full 10 minute hold!
Ya! It really works but let me ask that is pillow must to use??
Please pronounce the name of the asana properly. It’s vipreetkarni.
I have been meditating for about one month now and getting back from a serious accident. This was the most relaxing activity I have found yet. Thank you. I will come back to this one. Your voice is soothing and your explanations are complete.
Thank you for the explanation.
I read and reread how to do this pose and just couldn’t figure it out.
Yeah ginawa ko po eto, every day routine ko siya, and super effective pumayat ako at lumiit un tummy ko..
I love this asana, could you please do 10 minute supta bada konasana?
I’ve not heard of this pose before today, but it feels SO good and your voice is so soothing. I look forward to practicing this again, along with some of your other videos. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Is there a recommend time limit for how long or short you should stay in this posture? Thanks
Bliss…been practicing this for several weeks now…with a few extra stretches involved. It is extremely helpful to both body and soul.
What tym we should do this and Wat tym gap should be maintained with the meal for this exercise?
If you enjoyed this class, check out this full-length class with AnaMargret here: http://bit.ly/restorativeflow

I’m doing this every day for my adema.
Love you guys ( you and Benjiiii ), Namaste ❣️✨
Hi Adrien… Cn we do it after having dinner Or time gap of 15 to 20 minutes, kindly suggest
I felt nice and chilled after watching your video, especially with what’s going on in the world right now. As a family we do the yoga burn program from home and we also reviewed the program here: https://yogaburnreviewed.com/
I forgot I used to do this as a kid all the time! And now I’m doing it again. Feels really fun and oddly familiar & natural too. Very tingly and intense at first. Nice to be taken back to something my body was clearly craving.
The best time of this exercise is??? I have a severe prob of legs pain
I hate being too fat to do this I can’t get my ass against the wall
Caren, I seem to have issues when I listen to you vid with headphones: the sound is in mono. Keep up the good work!
