#yogatherapy The tension in your body is asking to be felt, heard, and loved on.❤️🩹🌹🙏🏽
This restorative variation of Viparita Karani (Legs Up The Wall With A Strap) invites the body to slow down while creating gentle traction through the neck, opening the hamstrings and shoulders, and encouraging a deeper connection to your breath.🧘🏽♀️
One of my favorite parts of this practice is the reminder that healing doesn’t always come from intensity and “pushing through”🙅🏽♀️
It requires slowing down enough to notice what your body has been trying to tell you all along: feel, peel, heal. ❤️🩹
✨ Will you give this a try the next time your neck, shoulders, or nervous system ask for a little extra love? 💜
📌Save for later— Legs up the wall with strap:
1. Loop a yoga strap behind your head/ears and around the balls of your feet.
2. Start with knees bent, then slowly extend your legs toward the sky and gently lift your head into the strap.
3. Slowly move your legs side to side to stretch both sides of the neck.
4. Bend knees slightly to deepen the release.
5. Remove the strap and hug your knees into your chest.
6. Counter-stretch with a Fish Pose.
7. Finish by hugging yourself into a small ball, relax and take a few slow breaths in savasana.
🌹 Gentle reminder: Move slowly, stay within a pain-free range, and stop if you experience pain, dizziness, or discomfort. Honor your body’s limits and modify as needed. 💜
