Viprita karni Yoga Asana:

Viparita Karani is often called Legs-up-the-Wall Pose, but viparita actually means “inverted,” and karani means “in action.” We can interpret that to mean that the pose inverts the typical actions that happen in our bodies when we sit and stand. There are many benefits to inverting the actions in your body. Here are a few. When you put your legs up the wall with your pelvis elevated on a folded blanket, lymph and other fluids that can lead to swollen ankles, tired knees, and congested pelvic organs flow into the lower belly; this refreshes the legs and the reproductive area. This is healthy at any point in your reproductive life cycle.

Viprita karni Yoga Asana Steps:

• 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. Lie on your back, making sure that the back of your legs press against the wall, and that the soles of your feet face upwards. It will take you a little bit of movement to get comfortable in this position.
• Place your buttocks a little away from the wall or press them against the wall.
• Make sure your back and head are resting on the floor. You will find that your body forms a 90-degree angle.
• Lift your hips up and slide a prop under them. You could also use your hands to support your hips and form that curve in your lower body.
• Keep your head and neck in a neutral position and soften your throat and your face.
• Close your eyes and breathe. Hold the position for at least five minutes. Release and roll to any one side. Breathe before you sit up.
