step-by-step for Legs-Up-the-Wall (Viparita
Karani :-
1. Sit with one hip touching a wall and a folded blanket or mat nearby.
2. Swing your legs up the wall as you lower your upper back and head to the floor — or lie down then lift legs up and walk hips toward the wall.
3. Adjust your butt so it’s a few inches from the wall (or touching the wall) — find what feels neutral for your lower back.
4. Place a folded blanket under your sacrum/hips for support (optional). Rest arms by your sides or overhead, palms up.
5. Keep knees soft (micro-bend if tight), feet relaxed. Neck long, jaw soft.
6. Breathe slowly and evenly — deep belly breaths. Stay for 3–15 minutes (beginners 3–5 min; build to 10–15 if comfortable).
7. To come out: bend knees, roll gently onto one side, pause for a breath, then press up to sit using your hands.
8. Pause and move slowly — avoid sudden standing.
