Viparita Karani Mudra Health Benefits: In today’s busy lifestyle, we often feel “burned out”. Sometimes office stress, sometimes stomach problems due to wrong eating habits – everything seems to come together. In such a situation, we often run towards expensive supplements or the gym, but do you know that just lying against the wall for 10 minutes can reset your entire health? We are talking about ‘Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose’, which is trending among fitness lovers these days.
Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose: Yoga is not just an exercise but a lifestyle which is the ancient heritage of India. Viparita Karani Mudra is one such yoga practice which creates a perfect balance between physical and mental health. According to experts, this posture is like recycling the ‘life energy’ of the body. As easy as it is to do, its results are equally surprising. If you are not able to find time to go to the gym, then this one yoga posture is enough for you.
According to Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, the way to do this posture is very easy. All you have to do is lie on your back and straighten your legs upward with the help of the wall. This is called the ‘inverted’ position of the body. If understood in the language of science, it reverses the effect of gravity, due to which the blood accumulated in the legs starts flowing back towards the main organs of the body and the brain, which gives instant relaxation.
If you are one of those people who suffer from ‘bloating’ or poor digestion due to desk job, then this posture is a game-changer for you. When you are in this position, a natural massage of your internal abdominal organs occurs. Due to this, the digestive system becomes active and the food gets digested easily. Fitness influencers also call it ‘detox pose’ because it helps in eliminating chronic problems like constipation by increasing the efficiency of the intestines.

Even in the matter of mental health, this mudra is no less than therapy. Our brain gets tired after sitting in front of the screen all day. Doing Viparitakarani Mudra increases blood circulation in the mind, which brings mental alertness. This pose activates your ‘rest and digest’ mode by silencing your ‘fight or flight’ mode. Result? Less stress, less anxiety and a deep, relaxing sleep – which is the biggest need these days.
Do you know that this yoga posture can also be a part of your beauty routine? When blood flow to the face and head increases, your skin gets extra nourishment, which brings a natural glow to the face. Not only this, due to better blood flow in the scalp, hair fall reduces and they become shiny. That means without any expensive cosmetics, you can ‘glow-up’ in just 10 minutes.
Thyroid problem is present in every other house today, but this yoga posture is very helpful in controlling it. During this exercise, blood pressure in the neck region increases, which stimulates the thyroid gland. It helps in maintaining hormonal balance, which is especially beneficial for people suffering from hypothyroidism. This is a natural and effective way to regulate the body’s metabolism.
Finally, the best part is that it is very easy to get started. Just take out 5 to 10 minutes a day and gradually increase the time. However, caution is also necessary while following this fitness trend.
If you are pregnant, or have serious problems like high blood pressure and glaucoma, then definitely talk to your doctor or yoga expert before doing this. So, are you ready to make your wall your new ‘workout partner’ from today? (Disclaimer: The information and information given in this article is based on general assumptions.
