See the photo above of our exhausted and overwhelmed kindergarten teacher. She has found a way to restore herself after a day of Halloween activities and a party with a throng of buzzing overly-excited 5 years olds.
Legs Up the Wall!
The handiest and easiest of poses–against a wall, a bed, or a couch… on a yoga block or a bolster or cushion.
Just kick those legs up and breathe, and the rest will happen. Get out of the way with your expectations and interpretations, and let whatever stress and emotions that have accumulated come to surface and wash away to leave you more refreshed and centered.
So next time life has you up against the wall and you’re feeling overwhelmed or overly stressed or just dazed and confused, kick your legs up the wall. Help restore your sense of well-being.
