Better Life with Steem | My Thoughts Today | 27/05/201 | Yoga for a Healthy Life - Legs up the Wall Pose
In a long time I have not put up anything on Yoga. I have just been lazy to click pictures, so it's kind of pushed off. We all know how Yoga is important for our physical body and it's benefits.
A regular practice of Yoga will allow the mind and body to relax and with that help reduce our stress and anxiety levels also. As it is said Yoga means Union, a union of body and mind.
Let me talk about this particular pose which is the Legs up the wall pose. It's a very simple one and it does not give much strain to the body. It has a lot of benefits. Specially after my surgery of bulging disc, this one posture has helped me lot to regain my lost muscle strength in the legs.
Being in this position for 20 minutes daily is advisable. Well there are a many benefits that you can look up to online for it, but the ones that I have clearly seen with me I will mention here.
The most important has been the muscle relaxation of the legs. I had a severe sciatica around 3 years ago and that had weakened my full left leg muscles to a great extent, and I would get regular cramps at night in sleep in my left leg. Over a period of time with this particular pose it has helped me a lot in strengthening the muscles and also the cramping has gone.
It helps relax my lower back. I had a surgery in my L5 and S1, and doctor had told me that there was bulging also in L4 and L5, which he did not want to touch and he asked me to manage it with exercise. Thankfully after that I have not had any problem and the lost strength of my lower back and legs both are back.
I do this daily for 20 minutes in the evening after my walk and then post that giving a gap of around half hour have my dinner. And I have noticed a good change in my digestion system as well. Even my stomach bulging stays in control.
This pose is also very good for people suffering from the problem of varicose veins. It's a pose that is good for the nervous system. For females who have issues in their menstrual cycle, this pose helps to regulate. The cramping problem eases with it.
But again, nothing happens overnight, so one needs to have patience to start seeing the results, but for sure it does give.
To start with, you need to lie down comfortable and push your hips towards the wall till the time your hips touch the wall. Everyone has different ways of taking the legs up, for me this is comfortable. I fold my legs and get it close touching the wall
And then slowly take them up. I find this easier, else it is uncomfortable for me to directly put up the legs.
And then stay here for 20 minutes.
If you are feeling very anxious or stressed out or have had a heavy workout which makes your legs feels very tired, try this pose out, I assure, you will feel better. The first 2 to 3 minutes you will feel the pull but gradually the leg will get comfortable. I always feel very relaxed after doing this.
Hope you find this useful.

True @vaibhavsan. Yoga is just not for body, it is for the mind too.
Our body can heal by itself, if we take care of it properly. Yoga is one of them. Yoga is very good for both the body and our mind. We can see its benefits by doing it continuously. We just need to have patience.

If we practice it regularly, truly the benefits are many @jyotising. Thanx for sharing your views.
I do this once in a while. Since I am stocky enough 😁 to balance my legs without support (as they show on TV), so I use the wall like you have shown.
Tbh didn't know about the benefits at all. Now I will be doing this regularly. Thank You.

Yes, have your legs rested on wall, you can hold up for a longer duration effortlessly @brahmaputra.
@nainaztengra doing yoga and exercise is something i want to do every morning.But i don’t know why i don’t wake up in the morning.Please tell me a tip that will help(incase you know any).BYW you have written a very nice post
Hi @zeewanee, you should try and sleep early, normally our body needs maximum 8 hrs of sleep, so adjusting your sleep in that time to get up early will help. Yoga you can do anytime, in afternoon or evening also, only thing is you need to do it on empty stomach.
Thanks alot @nainatengra i will follow the same routine you said

Yoga is the best thing for us , it is not only help us to fit our muscles also help us to stay clam. In my childhood I attended many yoga competitions but after my mother's death everything was scattered. Thank you for sharing @nainaztengra
Sometime in life with certain events we do get stalled, but we should learn to gather our self and move on. I think you should give it a thought to start it again, it will be for your good and specially in these times where nothing is more important then our health.
You are right, let see how can I gather those strength again. Thank you dear for your suggestions @nainaztengra
