This comes from Oprah’s website. Stated so nicely, I couldn’t rephrase any better! Check out the link below for all 10 suggestions. One I previously blogged, Legs up the Wall pose, is listed. Hey, anything the gets us to sleep & helps us stay asleep. I especially like the Happy Baby Pose – feels awesome!
The Move to Ease Your Fears About Getting Fired, Getting Divorced and Getting Old
Pigeon Pose
Stiles says this is one of the best ways to release physical and emotional tension that builds up in the hips. When students do this pose at her New York studio, Strala Yoga, she can hear them sighing loudly in relief.
How: (If you have knee problems, you might want to skip this one.) You can do this on your bed or on the floor. Come into a low lunge with your right leg forward. Inch your right foot over toward your left hand and ease your right knee to the ground by your right hand. Rest your hips on the ground (or on a blanket) and gently lower your torso over your legs. Make a pillow with your hands and rest your forehead on them. Stay here for 10 long, deep breaths, or until you feel all the resistance melt out of your hips.
