Legs over chair tip!       04/24/03 10:06 PM Edit Reply Quote KinOz Reged: 02/02/03 Posts: 909 Loc: Brisbane, Australia Hi, Thought I'd share something quick and useful I have learned from my yoga teacher. An excellent way to refresh yourself and keep you going through the day/evening is to lie flat on your back (some support under the head) with your legs up over a chair/lounge/edge of bed. Your legs should form a right angle. Yogis (not sure of spelling!) believe that 5 minutes of doing this is as restful for the body as a good night's sleep. I like to do it after work so I have more energy for cooking dinner, bathing my son etc. It's also a really good position to be in for IBS. It takes the pressure off the tummy and back and makes it feel so much better. Just make sure your toes aren't higher than your knees or else I find I get pins and needles in my feet! Enjoy, Kerrie -------------------- What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
