Place a chair at the end of your yoga mat so that it faces you. Place a folded towel or blanket on the seat of the chair. Depending on the height of the chair, you may need a few folded blankets under your sacrum as well. Sit close on the mat, with your seat close to the front of the chair. Lie down on one side with knees bent in fetal position. Scoot onto the center of the mat. Roll onto your back with bent knees so that your calves can rest on the seat of the chair.
Lie back on the mat. Hug your knees in towards your chest tightly and take a deep inhale. Exhale and stretch your legs out away from you while keeping your tailbone grounded on the mat. Your feet should be hips width apart and relaxed away from each other, toward the edges of the mat. Let your lower back soften and relax. You should not feel any pain or tightness in your lower back. Relax your arms at your sides, palms facing upward.
At the end of the day, especially if your job involves staying on your feet, your feet and ankles can get swollen and tired. This simple pose helps recirculates your blood flow. Find an empty space on your wall and place your mat perpendicular to the wall. Sit down on the mat and bring your left or right side to the wall as close as possible, so your side body meets the wall. Lie back onto mat, and gently place your legs up the wall. Relax your arms by your sides.
