Sunday, a day of rest and what an excellent day to consider Savasana and why we should do it at the end of every yoga class.
It's other traditional name is Mritasana, this literally means dead or co**se pose, so why are we lying playing dead in yoga?!
The aim is detachment; detachment from movement; from effort; from constant doing.
But this consciously letting go is not easy, the struggle can be a real. When we are still the mind can get very loud, but physically something is also happening (or unhappening) so don’t mind the mind!
Muscles start to release, the breath slows, the heart rate slows, our nervous system settles and calms. Our body (and our mind) are able to move from stress to recovery.
All of the poses of the class, all the breathing, the effort , they lead us to our savasana.
So next time you do savasana just trust the stillness is doing the work of undoing. Follow the breath and let you muscles release your tensions. It is the reason why yoga is so different to other fitness classes like Pilates. It’s more than flexible, strong bodies … it’s good for our peace of mind. 🙏🏻🧘♀️🥰
