Support Sunday Pose by Pose Spotlight — Week 3 Legs-Up-the-Wall (Viparita Karani) Surrender. Restore. Receive.
This week’s pose is a deeply soothing favorite. It’s quiet. It’s simple. And it can transform everything in just a few minutes.
🧘♀️ 3. Legs-Up-the-Wall (Viparita Karani)
How to do it:
Sit sideways with one hip next to a clear wall. Gently swing your legs up the wall as you lower your upper body to the floor, lying back with your arms open beside you, palms facing up. Adjust until your body feels balanced and supported.
You can place a folded blanket or bolster under your hips for a gentle lift, or a pillow beneath your head for comfort.
🕊️ Duration:
Stay for 5–10 minutes, or longer if it feels good. Focus on long, relaxed breaths and let your whole body melt into the floor.
💞 Note:
“This is your rest pose, baby. Let gravity hold what you’ve been carrying. There’s nothing to fix—just surrender and receive.”
Why it matters for pelvic floor support:
Legs-Up-the-Wall helps reduce pelvic congestion, soothes tired legs, and resets the nervous system. When you live with incontinence, stress and tension can build in the pelvic bowl—this pose gently reverses pressure and encourages healing. It invites the body to let go, especially in the low belly, hips, and pelvic floor.
💖 Closing Reflection
There is real power in doing nothing—in resting, in receiving. Legs-Up-the-Wall is your permission slip to stop trying so hard and just be supported.
Your body is not broken. It is healing.
Your softness is not weakness. It is wisdom.
And your rest? It is holy.
