Legs Up the Wall: Relaxation and Mobility for Tight Hips

Legs up the wall has so many benefits for tight hips and an over-stressed nervous system. And the best part? You can get the benefits by simply lying down. In this short sequence, you'll enjoy some gentle and supportive hip mobility work to unwind tension in your hips and lower back. You'll also feel more relaxed and calm afterwards!
If you don't have a lot of available wall space, you can close a door and use the back of the door or even lying in bed (my favourite place for legs up the wall).
Enjoy and make sure you share and leave a comment if you liked this class!

After meal?

This idea cured a persistent back pain I'd had all day, in about 5 minutes of just lying there with my legs up the wall. The effect was nothing short of miraculous.

[@HeartBonesYogaAnatomyMobility]

That's amazing!

[@ramsg9988]

Best solution for varicose viens patients.

[@marlene3084]

Wow. Like❤️. Done this exercise only for three days in the evening. Already paying off. First time felt terrible, my legs and lower back so stiff muscles . But tonight already so much better. Even my feet/ancles are better. Thank you.

[@BinsarHutabarat-gf9yu]

I am so happy. I enjoy your good exercise. BEAUTIFUL. Thank you so much for you.

[@nhmisnomer]

And when you do this your cat sits on your chest and purrs. So there's that benefit also. :-)

[@mamamoments4U]

Aww how cute!

[@atis9061]

For the kitty, yes

[@Figgatella]

My dog licks me in the face😂😂😂

[@lifeslessons9889]

I’d sooner not tbh … 🐈👎

[@lifeslessons9889]

@@atis9061. REALLY ???? 🙀

[@patirvin-bz9pg]

My cat hops on my chest as soon as I lie down. The purring is a nice bonus, as someone already mentioned.

[@authorcraigcothren]

Your sit side ways to the wall suggestion has enabled me to getmyfeet higher up the wall😊

[@spinnettdesigns]

I’m in fairly good shape and the “4’s” were easy for me but I was astonished at how taxing the rotations were, esp when my feet were closer together and then when they were at their widest. Thank you so very very much for this, I’ll continue these

[@susieinthecountry4434]

My hip pain is lessened with this exercise. I try to aim for 30 minutes daily! glad it's good for me.

[@wendylarman7204]

I love doing this while I play some of my favorite music - letting myself dance...move.... on my back! It just keeps me grinning!

[@SuperColon2]

Firstimer. Thanks. Will be coming back

[@benitakretzer840]

I like that I can change the way my body feels in a few short minutes! Thanks so much Brea! 😃

[@lindylou19]

I can't even thank you enough for explaining how to get yourself in that position to begin with. I am 63, still work and am active but I am not flexible. Never was. Also bad knees. So, thank you again. Also, I have varicose veins with bad valves. I wear compression Stockings everyday and they are a life saver. I think that this will also help me immensely with that. Thank you so much again. P.S. I was so excited about you explaining how to get in the position to start that I subscribed to your channel. ❤

[@HeartBonesYogaAnatomyMobility]

Thank you so much for sharing that with me! Happy that this is helpful for you and yes, so many people don't actually explain how to get your legs up the wall :)

[@rupkishorlacoul9995]

Very useful. This exercise is reducing pain unexpectedly. Thanks. from NEPAL

[@Andieveronica]

This was legit while studying for finals!!! My hip pain is gnarly and this helped so much!! 💪🏼

[@purnimadevulaplli5328]

These stretches are really amazing !! I have done them before and do them atleast thrice a week which gives a good relaxation to the whole legs and good sleep .. love it ❤

[@tinabrown9958]

Awesome. Helped lesson my back pain immediately 👋👋

[@sreenivasamurthy4163]

Excellent video. In our yoga class, legs up the wall is one of the ways of relaxing the body, after a physically invigorating vinyasa session. A couple of additional drills that can be included (based on what we practice). 1. Before widening both the legs along the wall, one leg can be on the wall, and the other leg can be brought down along the wall to the floor to be perpendicular to the leg on the wall. Stay in this position for a few breaths, and slowly take the leg back along the wall to join the other leg. Repeat on the other side. 2. Bend the knees to come to bound angle pose (badhdha konasana) and gently do a few rounds of butterfly flaps.

[@blessedera4188]

This feel incredible. I will spread the word 🤙🏾

[@ginam2817]

This is exactly what I need! Sharing it with my besties too!

[@luciehsuen8981]

Thank you for sharing this short & sweet sequence to open the hip. Will visit this one again. 👍

[@charmainegordon394]

I do these upside down on the recliner. The backup and the leg extension out and my legs up on the back of the recliner. The ability to move the back of the recliner up and down also facilitates in the intensity of the exercises. Good stuff especially when you don't have a wall to utilise or you don't want to be on the floor.

[@patkivlahan9099]

WOW. The pose with the legs in a 4 position, then bent the other leg - that pose fired a trigger point in my glutes on both sides. I stayed at that a long spell. All the positions challenged me. I need this daily. My first time here and I'll be a regular.

[@itsallgood2206]

That was a great hip stretch. Whew!

[@zuzaabadzhi2838]

I was so lazy to do this 😔 little did I know. Thanks my dear sister it was so awesome, I enjoyed it because of your support so we do this together.

I needed to roll up a towel for under my neck, fyi if you have neck shoulder issues it helps. ❤thank you this is very gentle and comforting.m

[@joeboyd4726]

Nice video. There are millions of yoga videos on KZbin. Your explanations stand out. I’m a 72 yo guy and have knee pain walking up and down stairs. Watched that video which was great and I will do that. Looking for something about bursitis in hips. Didn’t see anything. Thank you for sharing.

[@HeartBonesYogaAnatomyMobility]

Thank you for that wonderful feedback, I'm glad my explanations stand out! I don't have any videos for hip bursitis however.

[@anonymousanonymous7304]

Have you ever watched Bob and Brad physical therapists on the internet? This is one, but there are several if you do a search. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpKahZmsf7ShaKM

I hope this does not sound judgemental. I like that you are built like a normal woman, are wearing modest clothing, and speak in a relaxed way, unlike some who look like they are training to be pole dancers.

It’s better to use a cushion (rolled towel) under our back or close to the hip area to get closer to the wall

This seems ( she says, hopefully) that this is helping with a very sore psoas muscle. This has been a chronic condition with me, right side only. I've wondered if it is related to my spine curvature, which has caused one hip to be higher.

[@kristiminjoe8034]

Is it okay to not use a wall? Is it more beneficial to use wall? Thanks for your helpful video!

[@dr.arpitakar436]

If you can do without wall that's great.. To hold for 20 mins we need abdominal muscles to be strong, so we take support of wall.

[@sayunasoulmesseng839]

I dont like abs excersises, but do this excersise withou wall my belly fat dissapeared and much stronger core
