Śavāsana (Corpse) - A Journey Into Deep Relaxation

There is a reason why this pose is said to be the most difficult to master. Śavāsana is an absolute tonic. The name translates as Corpse Pose and in this pose, we are attempting to imitate an empty vessel. The body remains still for the duration of the pose and as we watch the body we learn to relax it.

The mind will do its thing and when that happens, purely observe. I like to draw my attention back to the breath - does that work for you? See how you feel at the end and let me know. I always feel refreshed and reinvigorated by this pose and like to practice it at the end of my yoga practice as well as during the day.
