Because when we say we’ve got you from the ground up… we mean it. 👣

Reflexology is much more than some people think it is. It’s calmer shoulders, deeper breaths, and your nervous system going, “Ahhhhhh, finally.” 💆🙌💜

How to Do “Legs Up the Wall Pose” (Viparita Karani):
1. Sit close to a wall with one side of your body touching it.
2. Lie back slowly and swing your legs up onto the wall.
3. Adjust so your hips are near (but not pressing against) the wall.
4. Rest your arms out to the sides, palms facing up.
5. Keep your spine relaxed and breathe deeply.
6. Stay in the pose for 5–10 minutes, then gently roll to one side to come out.

✅ Tip: You can place a cushion under your hips for added comfort

Yoga is great for fighting colds and other illnesses as it balances the sympathetic and the parasympathetic systems. The immune system aids white blood cells to assist them in fighting the virus. White blood cells usually circulate in the thymus which is in the chest. So by practicing yoga, especially inversions, the white blood cells can be drawn to the head and throat, along with a rush of blood, which helps to relieve the sinuses and any congestion.

Every breath is an opportunity to return to yourself. On the yoga mat, it guides your movement and steadies your mind. Off the mat, it is a gentle reminder that no matter how busy or chaotic life gets, you can always find a moment to pause, reset, and reconnect with the present. Let your breath be your anchor and your companion whenever you need it.

It’s not unusual to feel sleepy, heavy, or even emotionally drained after a reflexology session, and it’s actually a good sign that your body is responding.

Reflexology activates the parasympathetic nervous system - the “rest and digest” branch responsible for slowing the heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and triggering recovery processes. When the body shifts out of a chronic stress state (sympathetic dominance), it finally has permission to relax, repair, and rebalance.

That deep relaxation can sometimes feel like fatigue, especially if your system has been running on adrenaline or stress hormones for a long time. The tiredness isn’t a side effect. It’s a signal that your body is resetting its internal balance.

📚 Research supports this response:

Studies, including McVicar et al. (Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 2007), show measurable reductions in heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety levels following reflexology - clear indicators of parasympathetic activation.

A 2011 pilot study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that reflexology sessions produced significant decreases in salivary cortisol (the body’s main stress hormone), reinforcing the link between reflexology and stress reduction.

Improvements in sleep quality and relaxation have been documented across multiple clinical settings, from cancer care to maternity wards, all pointing to the same physiological mechanism of rest and regulation.

💧 How to support your body afterward:

Drink water to help the body process metabolic by-products released during deep relaxation.

Avoid caffeine or alcohol immediately after your session to prolong the calm.

Rest if you can, even a short nap or quiet time helps integrate the benefits.

Feeling tired after reflexology is simply your body exhaling and catching up on the rest it’s been asking for. 😴
