Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

Here is a sorta Yoga routine I do in bed before I lie down:

1. Lie on my back and lift my knees over the head. Now coordinated by natural breath I touch one knee to the mat and than the other as I relax the hip and shoulders to a 60 count.

2 Lie on my back and lift both legs in the air from the hips. Now straighten them up and release 60 times.

3 Put the ankle of one leg above the knee of the other and bend toward it while pulling on the foot of the straight leg 30 times for each leg.

4 lie on my stomach and hold my ankle with my hands and rise in an arch up. Now sway side to side 60 times.

5 Sit with both legs straight together. Raise one knee and place the foot on the outside on the other leg thigh above the knee.  Now place the palm of the opposing hand under the foot of the bend leg and twist your spine as you exhale and relax it as the air comes in 30 times per leg.

It feels good and relaxes after a long day.
