Viparitakarani Mudra Legs-up-the-Wall Pose:
Mudras are the developed forms of asanas.

Our scriptures speak very high about the achievement of Mudras in this world. He who practises them only for a period of three hours every day conquers time.How to do Viparitakarani Mudra Legs-up-the-Wall

Lie flat on the back and inhale as in complete Yogic breathing. Exhale and raise the legs and hips with the help of the arms and hold the hips in the hands so that the body is supported on the elbows. Gaze at the toes. This exercise is called Viparitakarani because, when practised, the body takes up an inverted position. Some people consider Sheershasana to be 'Viparitakarani Mudra'.
