Viparita Karani is a pose where you lay on your back with your legs up against a wall. It is super easy to pull off, and it has incredible benefits for your body when done on a daily basis.
The pose is a favorite among athletes, dancers, and runners because it is excellent for reducing pain and tightness in the legs. Plus, it is a great way to calm your mind and minimize anxiety after a strenuous workout. This is a benefit that will last your whole day and can ultimately affect your mood.
Another reason it is beneficial to put your legs up against the wall every day is that it will help lower your stress level. People who get stressed out easily or always seem to be dealing with high levels of stress will love this. Viparita Karani, if done at the end of each day, will restore your energy as well as give both your mind and body a sense of calmness.
