Savasana is how most yogi’s or yogini’s (yoga practitioner male or female respectively) begin and finish all yoga sessions. It is one of the most important poses. It is full restorative relaxation.
Savasana translated means ‘corpse pose’ in Sanskrit. Loosely explained; it is a time to fully let go of all holding; mental, physical, emotional and a time to absorb the practice; it is a time to be reborn (hence the corpse) after letting go of all past action, thoughts that no longer suit etc.,
It may sound easy at first, but as you are in the pose you’ll realize the need for practice. The mind will sometimes question what its job is. Allow the mind to soften and silently observe the physical body or the breath.
