5.6.14

Resorative yoga is something everyone can enjoy.  Here the students are relaxing in "legs up the wall".  Try it!  

- Unroll your yoga matt against the wall (or use cushions as the students did here). 
- Get your bum as close to the wall as possible and extend your legs.  
- Place a bolster under your sacrum, allowing for a slight elevation.  It should feel as if your sacrum is lifted and supported - not as if you are sliding off the bolster.  
- You may want a blanket or bolster under your neck.  
- Extend your arms to the side, or if you are on a cushion, into cactus arms.
- Close your eyes, breathing deeply and focusing only on your breath for 10 minutes.  
- Very, very, slowly come out of it by bending your knees, rolling onto your side and pressing yourself up to seated.
