Paradise on a Pillow

 Reclined bound angle pose (lie on your back, soles of your feet together, knees drop to the floor, arms at sides with palms up) is one of my all-time favorite restorative and relaxing poses.  Just got a bolster for home practice today, because when you sit on the floor and put the base of the bolster at the base of your spine and then lie back on it, you go into deep relaxation.  The shape your body makes in this propped up version of the pose effortlessly opens your front body and naturally lifts your heart.  It leaves me joyful and full of space.

Judith Hanson Lasater is the ultimate teacher of restorative yoga.  I love her and will probably end up reading all her books.  Check out her website at https://www.judithhansonlasater.com/
