Leg Strap Sequence Supine
(Supta Padangusthasana) Part 1
Come to lie down on your back. Loop the strap around the ball of your
left foot holding each side of the strap in either hand with the left leg
extended straight up into the sky. Flex the left ankle pulling the toes
down as you reach the heel up. Spread your toes. Take three breaths
here each time you exhale drawing the left leg closer into the body.
Leg Strap Sequence Supine
(Supta Padangusthasana) Part 3
Take both sides of the strap into your right hand now. On an exhale with
your right hand draw your left leg across the body to the right until it
comes to toward the floor. Open your left arm out to the side at the
height of the shoulder with the palm facing up. Spread your toes and
take three deep breaths here reaching out through the ball in the heel
of both feet. On an exhale bring the left leg all the way back to centre,
bend the knee and change the strap on to the ball of the right foot.
REPEAT STEPS 12-14 ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
Legs Up The Wall
(Viparita Karani)
Hug your knees into your chest and come up to sitting. Take the short
edge of your mat to the wall. Sit just to the right side of your mat with
your left knee and hip touching the wall, knees bent. Lie on your back as
you swivel your legs up the wall, heels over hips. Place your eye bag over
the eyes. And open the arms into a cactus shape. Relax deeply for at
least 3 minutes. Up to 7 minutes if you have the time.
Leg Strap Sequence Supine
(Supta Padangusthasana) Part 2
Take both sides of the strap into your left hand only and place the right
hand down on the top of the right thigh to keep it anchored. Take a
long slow inhale and as you exhale open the left leg and left arm out
to the left to stretch the inner thigh. Take three breaths here. On an
exhalation draw the navel to spine as you bring the left leg all the way
back up to the centre.
