Lie on the floor place your hands behind the back of your head and rest your head in the palms of your hands.
Open your hips and let the soles of your feet touch.
This full supine butterfly or Supta Baddha Konasana.
This makes the body feel open through the heart and open through hips as well as letting the air flow into our armpits, it really is relaxing straight away the mind will sense this space and you can easily let go of a tense situation or long day.
Breathing long deep breathes with the chest open like this, will enable you to relax quickly without feeling like you are forcing it.
If this is not comfortable for you because you have tight hips, place a pillow on the outside of your knees so they can rest on it this will lessen the depth the hips open for you.
Always remember if the body feels relaxed and calm it will allow a deeper release. Once you have had enough, roll on your side hug your knees to your chest in the fetal position, with your chin tucked to your chest and a round back . Stay here for a couple of breaths before you get up and on with what you have to do.
