🧘🏼‍♀️ Legs Up The Wall 🧘🏼‍♀️

You’ve probably seen this posture before.

It has great benefits including:
✔️ Calming the nervous system
✔️ Promoting lymph drainage in the legs/feet
✔️ Stretching hamstrings

BUT….

Ever tried it and either found it hard to get into or felt a strain in your lower back? 🤕

If you’ve got tight hamstrings (one of the reasons you might actually want to do this pose), it can be a really DIFFICULT position to get into and cause lower back discomfort.

Try doing it in a doorway with one leg at a time as pictured or move your bottom a little further away from the wall.

Do:
✅ Keep your pelvis stable / neutral
✅ Breathe steadily
✅ Support your head if needed (spine should be long and comfortable)
✅ Relax into the posture
✅ Bend your knee if needed to keep your posture correct (either knee!)
✅ Flex the foot if you want more stretch (optional)

Don’t:
❌ Let your pelvis be tilted/twisted
❌ Arch your back
❌ Force it
❌ Hold your breath

Try these tips and let me know how you go! This is a beautiful posture to try before bed to help you drift off a little more peacefully 😴

Haaaaaaave you met Bowie? 🐾

This sweet, fluffy butt has been frequenting the studios and loving on RW clients since he was a pup.

The ultimate supervisor (aka Sheriff) Bowie loves greeting clients, snoozing and posing for your photos.

Keep an eye out for him at your sessions!

With the closure of Recover Wellbeing Pilates Studio last year, 2025 is looking a little different…

Same professional + caring service - different locations!

I will be spread across 3 x different locations this year PLUS offering a limited amount of private Pilates/rehab appts at
