    Supported Bound Angle Pose

    Softening and opening the body in Supta Baddha Konasana while focusing on the breath is a great way to promote deep relaxation.

    Child’s Pose on Bolster

    Salamba Balasana, the Supported Child Pose, helps to reconnect with feelings of support and creates a sense of security.

    Pigeon Pose

    This variation of Rajakapotasana, feels even better with a folded blanket under the forearms. You can also use a bolster under the torso.

    Seated Wide-Legged Pose



    Letting the body surrender to gravity in Upavistha Konasana with a bolster is a wonderful way to let go.

    Legs Up the Wall

    Viparita Karani, especially at the end of a busy day, is a great way to calm the nervous system and to encourage deep slow breathing.
