Nombreuses sont les causes de la sensation de lourdeur au niveau des jambes : la position assise de longue durée, le fait de piétiner, la chaleur…mais aussi les tensions relationnelles ! Eh oui ! Toujours cette relation corps-esprit 😉
Obviously, it is always advisable to consult a health professional who will be the only guarantor of a reliable diagnosis and recommendations of adapted care. However, yoga can help improve blood and lymphatic circulation while harmonizing a more peaceful mind.
Inversion postures, where the legs are above the heart, allow for more oxygen and blood to the brain and improve venous return. You don't have to balance on your head to do this! Just putting your legs against a wall (Viparita Karani) is beneficial. The candle posture (Sarvangasana in Sanskrit) is also a little more engaging.
Twisting or compressive postures such as Garudasana, the eagle posture, will help stimulate the flow of lymph by causing a new influx of blood and lymph when the posture is released.
La combinaison inversion/compression est un délice 🙂 À plat dos, les bras le long du buste, monter les jambes à 90° puis crocheter les jambes en Garudasana. Changer le croisement des jambes après quelques minutes.
Finally, slow and deep breathing, from the abdomen to the rib cage, will be a faithful companion to the circulation of body fluids. In hot weather, refreshing breaths such as Chandra bedhana or Sheetali should be preferred.
Take care of yourself,
Namaste
