Seriously though, this pose has resorative benefits to people who spend all day on their feet.
Coming into an inversion (feet above the heart) is the opposite of our daily body position for most people, so it can help us relax in new ways that are totally separate from our daily tasks.
Many of my students find spending time in this posture helps with fluid retention in their feet, restless or achy legs & feet and dizziness.
The blanket on the abdomen is often helpful for people who find being still difficult. Gentle weight can aid with feelings of safety.
There is no such thing as too many cushions when doing this, it’s about comfort, so if you need support somewhere, add a cushion.
Sadly, I can’t bring enough cushions to classes to make this a group activity but if you would like to work with me 1:1, I currently have space on Mondays. Pop me a message to discuss your needs.
