Dead Man's Pose – Savasana
Savasana is a relaxation pose performed at the end of a yoga practice. It allows for complete relaxation and the removal of fatigue. This is why it's one of the most beloved asanas and, for many yogis, a moment of blissful rest after a long day of daily duties. The Corpse Pose , or the Dead Body Pose, isn't difficult, making it suitable for all levels of practice. However, to achieve a state of complete relaxation, several things must be taken care of. Learn how to perform Savasana.
Savasana – a position that will bring relief
The name " corpse pose " may evoke unpleasant associations. However, it merely refers to the asana's appearance. The body is motionless and appears dead. Savasana (yoga ) may seem incredibly simple to perform. However, besides remaining in conscious stillness, the challenge is also to still the mind and achieve peace. It can only be practiced at the end of a session. Performing the asana in the middle of a class adversely affects the nervous system and hinders the proper execution of other asanas. Savasana is also suitable for solo practice during the day – it can successfully replace a short nap and provide a refreshing effect.
To achieve complete relaxation, it's crucial to prioritize comfort during your practice. Eco-friendly yoga mats from JOYINME make this possible. They're made of biodegradable rubber and provide excellent insulation from the cold ground. You can choose the FLOW mat with a microfiber layer or the slightly thicker, wider, and longer Pro mat with a polyurethane layer.
Begin by sitting on the mat and straightening your legs. Spread your feet hip-width apart. Then, align your body on the mat. For even greater comfort, you can place a yoga bolster under your head and neck. Press your elbows into the mat, trying to keep your shoulder blades flat. Breathing deeply, relax your arms at your sides, your legs, and then your entire body from the top of your head to your feet. Tense your lower jaw and tongue next. Try to clear your mind of all thoughts and relax completely. You can close your eyes to help you focus on your breathing. Stay in the pose for 5-10 minutes, and if you feel like it, extend the time to 25 minutes. Coming out of the pose, first roll onto your right side, and then slowly return to the sitting position.
