Savasana is yet
another important Yoga pose. Savasana relaxes
and invigorates your body and mind. It also
relieves pressure, anxiety and calms the mind.
Probably the most important posture, the Corpse,
also known as savasana, is as simple as Tadasana
(the Mountain pose). Savasana is generally
performed at the end of a session aiming at
relaxation. The "conscious" part of Savasana is
the most difficult because people tend to drift
off to sleep while doing Savasana.
Start by lying on your back and keep your feet
somewhat apart; keep arms at your side with the
palms facing up. Then close your eyes and take
several deep breaths. Allow your body to sink
into the ground. Aim at a specific part of your
body to feel relaxed. For example, when starting
with feet, you have to imagine that the muscles
and skin are slowly relaxing. In the process you
feel like letting these parts melting into the
ground. After performing on your feet you can
move to other body parts like calves, thighs,
face and head. At the end, breathe in a relaxed
mode and remain in the same pose for a few
minutes
