Relax and Renew: A Restorative Yoga Sequence

Tight legs and stiff lower backs will find comfort in this simple but important posture:

• After Butterfly Pose, grab your mat, and move toward the closest wall.
• Sit sideways, and position yourself a few inches away from a wall. On your exhale, swing your hips 90 degrees to bring legs up the wall.
• Allow your shoulders and head to rest lightly on the floor, relax your arms at your sides, and close your eyes.
• Keep your legs firm against the wall, but don't force anything in this pose. If it feels uncomfortable on your lower back, then move a few more inches away from the wall.
