    The Bridge Posture

    From the Shoulderstand, and keeping your knees straight, very slowly lower your legs until your feet are flat on the floor. Do not lower your body from the waist upwards and keep your hands supporting the back in the the bulk comfortable position which is usually on either side of the spine. Performed correctly this exercise makes the body look like a graceful bridge. Hold it for as long as you comfortably can and then slowly, very slowly, lower your body and then your hands until you're lying flat. Remain relaxed for a few minutes and take a few, deep recovery breaths. The Shoulderstand should always be followed by the Bridge Posture.
    Although the Shoulderstand is one of the easier Yoga asanas I am concious that a lot of my readers would be either too sick or too stiff, or maybe even too overweight to perform this posture at all. In that case you will get many, though not all, of the advantages of the Shoulderstand by lying down on the floor in your bedroom with your feet up on the bed. Practice the relaxation exercise, Savasana, described in Chapter 2, with your feet above your head. Hold your body still and relaxed and try to calm your mind and clear away your mental and physical tensions. In cases of weariness and insomnia you will find this practice of huge help.
    And now here is a very easy little ROCKING exercise which will also aid people suffering from insomnia. It can be performed as a preliminary exercise to the Shoulderstand, as I will explain presently, or else as an exercise just before you obtain into bed at night to aid you sleep.
