Place firm bolster or stack of blankets 6 inches from wall. Sit sideways on bolster with right hip toward wall.
Place left hand on floor and right hand on bolster. Lower spine onto bolster, turn hips toward right, and swing both legs up wall. Adjust hips and rest buttocks and lower back on bolster. Head and shoulders relax on mat.
Relax arms beside bolster, or bend elbows and rest backs of hands and forearms on mat.
Close eyes and relax completely. Breathe slowly and evenly, expanding ribs side- ways with each inhalation. To release, place feet on wall, slide buttocks off pillow onto floor, roll onto one side, and sit up.
This relaxing pose relieves leg and back fatigue. It naturally calms the mind without using any mental effort.
