Legs Up the Wall: Relaxation and Mobility for Tight Hips

[@riverbankfisher]

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.

[@Kuttanwarrior]

[@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.

[@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!

[@authorcraigcothren]

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

[@SuperColon2]

Firstimer. Thanks. Will be coming back

[@Kuttanwarrior]

BRILLIANT DEMONSTRATION INDEED! I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS 'SIMPLE VANILLA ' ,BUT FROM NOW ONWARD I SHALL ABIDE BY YOUR STYLE! DR SADASIVAN, INDIA.

[@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.

[@BinsarHutabarat-gf9yu]

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

[@lisabayliss3394]

So nice x my right hip has a lot of tightness ..feel this helping x😮

[@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.

[@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 ❤

[@nhmisnomer]

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

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

[@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

[@ramiahs4961]

Thank you. It's a great one to do and the benifits. Regards. God bless❤

[@susieinthecountry4434]

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

[@mariarosariaiannucci8346]

Grazie Prof, una splendida posizione

[@Andieveronica]

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

[@rupkishorlacoul9995]

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

[@Neb.333]

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

[@terrydillon9323]

Thank you, very helpful information.

[@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 :)

[@stephanieinspired1151]

I don't feel deeply condemned, even while sleeping, many things play on my mind. There is a way to do that. Thanks for the help

[@saima291]

My leg was hurting I tried this thanks its helped a bit so will try it a few more times

[@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.

[@frankwiggins6688]

Thank you for this session. Frank

[@joan8178]

I was getting swelling in one foot/leg and after only 2 10min/day sessions it is almost totally gone!! And the dog loves it--thinks I'm getting ready to play lol

[@megancloninger5296]

[@pushpajayesh]

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

[@thedareneewilliams8360]

Thank you so much Bree Johnson!!! Just what I need it and didn't even know it 😃👍🏻

[@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.

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.

Is this safe if you've had a hip replacement.... I'm 6 weeks post op .... My surgeon said I can do exercise like Pilates etc but I'm a bit weary about dislocation so if anyone can "advise" please and I accept it's not medical advice

[@michellefrothingham4275]

Your physical therapist would have the answer… also show the therapist this video

[@johngoh767]

Yoga Teacher, how much time is safe to put the feet on the wall, and how is breathing should be done casual breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth? Any danger if we do more than 20 minutes?

[@bilawalali5508]

Thanks

[@robsutherland5744]

Doesn't doing all those movements counteract the original purpose of doing legs up the wall? Just started doing this activity and I'm sure it will be good in the long run.

[@shaymalamanjunath687]

Can these wall on leg exercise be done by people who have undergone total hip replacement surgery after two from the gate of surgery.

[@virtualwhispers]

You need to ask your own doctor these questions - People on KZbin vids can't give you that kind of advice.

[@sireeshakondepudi5003]

Is it reduce wrist size and hips

[@suesmith1085]

Hi. Is this activity safe for a 71 year old

[@Val-we3kk]

I keep getting pushed away from the wall. Any suggestions?

[@HeartBonesYogaAnatomyMobility]

If you start with your body a foot or so away from the wall, that would help. Tight hamstrings and then placing yourself too close to the wall tends to make it feel like you're being pushed away from the wall.
