Eye of the Needle

To practice the pose of the eye of the needle, you can follow this instruction:

• First, you bend both knees from Legs Up the Wall.
• Place your left foot's sole against the wall.
• Cross your right leg over your left thigh; if your right ankle is pressing down on your thigh, move it slightly to the left side. Keep your right foot flexed to keep your right knee safe.
  To extend your lower back, draw your tailbone down toward the bed while maintaining the natural spinal curve.
• Gently push the right thigh on the wall with your right hand. If the left knee tilts to the side, keep it pointed up to the ceiling. Your right hip should open and you should experience a lovely stretch.
• Switch to the left leg and alternate between 2 and 5 minutes on each side.

This pose is well-known for relieving lower back discomfort while also expanding the hips. It also increases circulation in the legs, hips, and back, which can help with stiffness and inactivity-related discomfort. In addition, the eye of the needle can assist you to maintain the flexibility of your entire low back. It's a relaxing alternative to backbends and twists of the spine. Your mind will automatically move inward as you draw your limbs in toward your torso, which will help calm your thoughts, ease stress, and soothe anxiety.
