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!

    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. ❤

    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.

    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.

      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.
