Legs Up a Wall
Legs Up a Wall We saved the easiest and most relaxing for last. The self-explanatory "legs up a wall" yoga pose has tremendous benefits. "It increases the flow of blood from the veins in the legs towards the heart," says Dr. Gabrielle Francis, a naturopathic doctor and board advisory member of Love Wellness. "When we're on our feet all day the blood can pool in the legs causing heaviness, swelling, edema and varicose veins. Putting feet up on the wall helps the blood flow towards the heart where it's pumped into the lungs and exchanged for fresh blood with oxygen." This pose can reduce leg swelling, improve energy, increase oxygen flow and reduce varicose veins. Dr. Francis recommends 10-20 minutes per day.
