Why Savasana can be uncomfortable but is important.
When we close our eyes in Savasana, we enter a space that most of us spend our lives avoiding, the quiet within.
At first, that stillness can feel uncomfortable. Our bodies soften, but our minds begin to stir.
We notice every sound, every thought, every tiny sensation that usually gets drowned out by the noise of doing. The silence feels loud.
This is the point where many people want to move, open their eyes, or reach for distraction, to flee class. But that edge of discomfort is where the real work begins. It’s where awareness starts to deepen, where the body learns that stillness is safe, and where the mind begins to trust the pause.
Savasana isn’t about falling asleep, it’s about learning to rest consciously. To sit (or lie) with what’s there. The thoughts, the restlessness, the unease. Over time, that resistance softens. What once felt unsettling becomes peaceful, familiar, even nurturing.
The uncomfortability is not a sign you’re doing it wrong. It’s the body adjusting, the nervous system recalibrating, the spirit remembering how to rest.
Stay in the stillness.
That’s where the healing begins.
Stay for Savasana.
