It looks *so* easy.
While there's no specific evidence, according to Anisha, to show that the pose can improve digestion, she notes that it “may improve circulation and consequently this may help your digestive tract function better,” adding that, “you’re also stretching your lower back which may decrease any abdominal or lower back tension.”
As for alleviating symptoms of stress? Anisha explains, “putting your legs on the wall and lying still for several minutes is naturally going to make you relax. However, I’d argue that you’d probably feel just as relaxed if you lay flat on the floor for several minutes.” Similarly, she argues, “relaxing every day and being still is a form of mindfulness. So it will help with stress and consequently, this will impact your sleep.”
“I don’t recommend this exercise to my patients specifically, however, I do recommend meditating if I believe that anxiety or stress is contributing to their pain. This may be sitting upright or lying down and concentrating on their breathing.” Finally, we asked Anisha whether there were any safety concerns to consider before attempting this pose. She explained, "I don't think there is anything too dangerous about doing this, however, I would be wary if a pregnant woman was going to do this or someone who has acute sciatica.
