10+ Legs Up The Wall After Running. The pose is restorative and great for recovery 24 hours after a wod on rest days. It is one of the most approachable yoga poses as it doesn't require much flexibility or strength.
Legs up the wall pose (or viparita karani) is a restorative yoga posture that allows the mind and the body to relax, relieving stress and tension. Keeping your right leg straight and toes pointing up, bend your left leg. A simple one to start, but one often neglected by runners.
It refreshes circulation, gently stretches the legs, and is a great way to reflect on your long run.
You'll also need to rest your legs vertically (or nearly so) on a wall or other upright support. Keep in mind, too, that we're not against laying down with your legs up on the wall. Rest here anywhere from 10 breaths to 10 minutes. Not much is known about rls except that exercise might make it worse.
