PAVANAMUKTASANA—WINDRELIEVINGPOSE
Begin by lying on your back, allowing your awareness to
float through your body. If you notice any area of tension
in this resting pose, have the intention to release it. Now
take in a deep breath and bring your right knee up to
your chest. Grasp your leg below the knee with both
hands and gently bring your chin to your knee. Hold this
position for a few moments, breathing easily and feeling
the sensations in your body. After several breaths, slowly
straighten your leg, exhaling as you return it to the floor.
