The reason is that your body is in a supine position. Also, you are doing slow breathing, which makes the body believe you are resting. This, in turn, calms your heart, lowers the heart rate, and helps you fall asleep instantly. You can also make this a routine before bed to improve sleep quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relieves_Lower_Back_Pain\"><\/span><strong>Relieves Lower Back Pain<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the legs up the wall pose, your torso remains supine.
