To practice Viparita Karani, lie back on your bed while keeping your legs elevated vertically against the wall or any other surface. The body performs this easy inversion to let blood return to the heart without requiring much work. The pose enables both body relaxation and nervous system calmness to decrease stress, which leads to elevated blood pressure. When you elevate your legs, it provides relief to tired muscles while enhancing blood circulation throughout your entire body. Daily practice of this pose for 10 to 15 minutes enables natural blood pressure reduction, while supporting inner rest and recovery processes.
