This is a pose in my restorative yoga class and it has so many benefits. (I copied this from Healthline’s website.) It has become one of my favorites and is one I also practice at home.I actually got this tip on the boards somewhere, but at the end of each night I lay on my bed upside down and scoot all the way to the wall and sit with my feet up on the wall for about 10 mins. or so. I think it seems to help.
