Yoga Posture – Savasana

Translation: Corpse Pose

This yoga posture is usually performed at the end of practice. It balances the body in many ways.

Lie down on the mat with the hands down and a little out from the hips.

Have the palms facing up.

Relax breathing and make it easy and silent. Rest after the exhalations to calm the heart.

Benefits
This pose has mental, physical, physiological and spiritual benefits. The mind becomes rested. The breath becomes balanced and the body rejuvenated. A practice without this posture will eventually lead to illness. After a hard practice the body needs to return to a state of balance.

Tips
Hidden tension can be removed by shaking the body then relaxing.
Repeat this if needed.
