Sit on small pillow 2 to 3 feet from wall. Bend left knee and fold left lower leg back with foot alongside hip.
Lean back onto palms. Lift right leg and place right foot onto wall. Inhale, elongate spine, and lift chest. Exhale and tighten front thigh muscles of right leg on wall.
Adjust distance from wall to increase or decrease stretch in legs. Maintain normal spinal curves by adjusting torso forward or backward. Extend heel on wall and flex toes.
Lower leg from wall and reverse pose. Bend right lower leg beside hip, and place left foot on wall. Release pose.
Elevating legs on wall reduces fatigue and may prevent swelling and leg cramps. Front thigh stretching also prevents thigh cramps by increasing circulation.
