In Yin Yoga WallThe practitioner lies on the floor with the legs against the wall, allowing gravity to gently stretch the legs, spine and hips. This supported position is perfect for creating a feeling of grounding and security, allowing the body to release tension. Poses last several minutes, typical of Yin Yoga, focusing on deeper connective tissues like fascia and ligaments.
- The wall provides a slight inversion, which helps improve circulation and reduce leg swelling.
- By keeping your legs elevated, you can improve lower body relaxation while stretching your spine and hips.
- Poses like Wall Butterfly or Wall Caterpillar (legs against the wall pose) offer variations in which you can stretch your inner thighs and hamstrings with your legs against the wall.
