Elevated Leg Side-Lying Pose

Pad chair seat and place chair to wall. Place stack of blankets or firm bolster in front of chair. Lie on left side with left hip raised on bolster and left shoulder on mat.

Bend left leg and elevate right lower leg on chair seat. Adjust distance from chair for comfort. Support head and neck with pillows and relax arms.

Consciously release tension in muscles and joints. Breathe gently and evenly. When fatigue in right leg is lessened, remove leg from chair and change sides. Lie on right side and elevate left leg.

To release pose, remove left leg from chair, push up to a sitting position and relax. 

This pose removes fatigue in legs and swelling in ankles.
