Here's a perfect picture of it. It's best to elevate hips slightly so the release is more complete. http://www.doyouyoga.com/how-to-do-legs-up-the-wall-pose/<br /><br />This has truly been a lifesaver for me in a very noisome living situation the last 2 years.

In the past, these vapid statements would be made in the company of like-minded people over good ale. What amazes me is that people who differ so significantly with your point of view keep coming back to leave comments that no one who share’s your view cares about —pretending as if they are engaged in a conversation or a worthwhile debate. They are not. Conversation is not screeching; debate is not mocking.
