Legs Up the Wall

Scoot close to a wall, extend legs up, and rest arms wide. Feel heaviness drain from feet to hips. Stay five to eight minutes. Share how your breathing changes and whether your mind quiets more easily afterward.

Supported Forward Fold

Place a bolster or stacked pillows on your thighs and fold, resting your chest. With props, muscles can fully let go. Breathe into your back body. If you try this, tell us which prop height felt most supportive.

Reclined Twist and Sigh

Hug knees, drop them to one side, and turn your gaze opposite. Let the exhale carry weight out of the low back. Switch sides after eight breaths. Comment whether your shoulders released more on the first or second twist.
