Practice Yoga Postures To Help You Lose Weight…

Do An Inversion!

… And while this photo on the left is a very advanced inversion, called “Headstand” in yoga… there are LOTS of easy inversions that you can do that will prepare you for this more advanced yoga posture.

Here’s what this is all about…

An inversion is simply changing your body’s position so that you INVERT your body’s normal orientation and the blood flows in the opposite direction.

 

Inversions Are Very Easy To Do.

And many of us do them without knowing it…

• Lifting your arms up, crossing your arms and resting them on your head

 

• Laying on your back and resting your legs on a surface that is higher than your heart (hospitals use this posture for healing patients)

 

• Kicking your legs up on a desk or chair

 

Anytime you change the direction of the blood flow by lifting or lowering one part of the body differently than you normally do… this is an INVERSION. And inversions are SO good for you and your body’s health.

By changing the blood flow direction, you are stimulating the circulation.  Just like a pool of water will get murky, dirty, and clouded with toxins if it is stagnant and stuck… Your body’s blood flow gets stuck inside of you, and this causes toxins and disease to build up inside of you.

It’s important to gently “stir up” your body’s circulation so that it can flow freely.  Your blood is the transport system for the body to get oxygen and remove wastes, so you want your blood to flow smoothly without any pools or blocks.

This is how your body heals itself. This is how your metabolism heals and speeds up.

By improving the circulation in your body, your entire body starts to heal itself from the inside-out. Your digestive organs are healed, and you are able to extract more NUTRITION from every bite of natural food.

Your endocrine system is healed, and your body’s glands and the hormones they produce (like the thyroid gland that regulates metabolism) is cleansed and purified with a fresh flow of healing blood full of oxygen, breath, and healing love.

Improving the circulation of your body is ALWAYS a good thing.

And when you start to INVERT and breathe deeply on a daily routine, AMAZING things start to happen.

 

Here’s one you can practice…

 

Yoga Posture:    Legs Up The Wall

 

There’s no fancy yoga name for this posture I want to teach you.  It’s just called “Legs Up The Wall” and it’s one of my favorite inversions.

• Start sitting down on the floor with your right hip and shoulder pressed as close to the wall as you can get (don’t force it) just sit next to the wall and gently lean your ride side against it.

 

• Now slowly lay down onto your back and bring your legs straight up the wall.

 

• You want your hips and butt to be as close up against the wall as possible so this is why it helps to sit as closely to the wall as you can before lying down.

 

Level 1:

• With your back flat on the floor, your hips pressed as close to the wall as possible, and your legs are straight up the wall… now straighten your legs as STRAIGHT as possible (be gentle with the hamstrings here  and breathe into the backs of your legs as you straighten).

 

• Flex your feet so it looks like you’re standing flat on the ceiling.

 

• Place your hands either on your belly so you can FEEL the rhythm of your breath… Or, you can place your left hand on your heart center and right hand on your belly to connect to the DANCE between your breath and heartbeat – beautiful.

 

This is the posture. ~ Deep Breaths ~ Stay here for as long as you like for a minimum of 5 minutes. You can lay in this posture for 10, 15, 20 minutes or more.

It’s blissful, restorative, and healing. I like to listen to a guided meditation, or soft spiritual, healing music just laying there ~breathing~ with my legs up the wall.

 

Level 2:

• Place a heavy cushion or pillow on the soles of your feet so that the gentle pressure pushes down onto your feet and legs.

 

• Visualize a soft, flowing waterfall falling over the soles of your feet, down your legs, and into your heart center.

 

This inversion is so good for the veins of your lower extremities.  Every part of them, all the way down to the tips of your toes, the veins are relaxing because for the first time, they are not pushing against gravity.

See, the arteries pull blood away from the heart, and the veins pull the blood back to your heart.  And because your legs are BELOW your heart center all the time, they have to work AGAINST gravity to push the blood back up to the heart.

There are valves that help with this blood flow, but when these valves break, pools of blood get stuck (this is what happens with varicose veins).

Giving your legs and veins a BREAK is a very healing experience.

 

Level 3:

• Place a cushion or rolled up blanket underneath your hips so that you’ve LIFTED your pelvic floor and now all the organs of digestion, and reproduction are INVERTED as well.

 

This is even MORE healing for the internal systems of the body. This slight lift and change in the body’s circulation once again alters the blood flow and cleans out pools of toxins that are stagnate and stuck.

Lie here and ~Breathe~ deeply and consciously for as long as you need to replenish and heal. Just doing this simple INVERSION will change the internal systems of your body, and replenish your internal organs.

This is what will speed up your metabolic systems (aka ‘your metabolism’).  When your body’s systems are stuck and breaking down, they cannot do their jobs properly, and the body continues to store fat. 

The way to stop this is to heal the body. Replenish the body. Give your body a relaxing break. So that it can swim in the healing breath and conscious LOVE and LIGHT that is surrounding you now and always.

 

Once you start practicing inversions, you’ll be “hooked” to the BLISS and you’ll never want to go back.
