Wind Relieving Pose

  • Lie down on a soft surface.
  • Softly step both feet down on the surface, with knees toward the ceiling.
  • Keeping your lower back on the mat, pull your right thigh in toward your torso — think knee toward armpit — grabbing behind your thigh or on top of your shin.
  • Continuously pull your thigh in close with every exhale.
  • Switch sides.
  • Stay for five breaths on each side. Repeat once more if you'd like.

Tip: You can also lengthen your bottom leg long, as long as your lower back doesn't lift from the mat.
