@theyoginiworld: This is the pose your body has been craving — and most people have never even heard of it. Matsya Kridasana. The flapping fish pose. You lie on your stomach, bend one knee out to the side, rest your head on your folded arms, and simply breathe. That is it. And yet what it does inside your body is profound. It releases the iliopsoas — the deepest hip flexor in your body that holds years of unprocessed stress and tension. It decompresses the lumbar spine after hours of sitting. It stimulates the digestive organs through gentle abdominal pressure. It opens the sacroiliac joint and relieves sciatica. It calms the nervous system through the prone position alone. In yoga nidra this is one of the most used relaxation postures because the body drops into parasympathetic mode almost immediately. Five minutes on each side before sleep and your nervous system will thank you in the morning. The simplest poses are always the most powerful.
