Though to be the most beneficial and important of all yoga poses, Savasana, or Co**se Pose, allows the body to completely absorb the benefits of movement and dynamic practice by laying completely still. It prepares the body for meditation by drawing the awareness inwards and to the breath and calms the mind and body down to achieve deep relaxation.
Instructions:
1. Lay the body down straight on the mat, letting the feet go as wide as possible and the palms face upwards with your eyes closed.
2. As you breathe in feel the belly, ribs, and chest lift in a 3-part inhale, and then gently release chest, ribs, and belly as you follow the exhale out.
3. Repeat this breath for a few rounds before releasing to a natural breath, and release all tension as you lay in this pose for 5-10 minutes.
Modifications:
Many studios will offer bolsters which you can place under the knees for any lower back issues. Eye pillows, also, can be a nice way to block out any sensory distraction or temptation to look around.
The biggest takeaway is to try to release engagement in all muscle groups as you lie back, and really become one with your body.
