In the beginning of this practice, we come into child's pose, known as balasana, to let go and surrender to any old habits from the year before that no longer serve us, and we cultivate a new and brighter vision that does not contain the past or the future but the present moment and what we wish to bring into the moment with us. Then we transition into fetal pose, known as either parsva savasana, which means side fetal pose or side savasana; the pose of laying flat on our backs with our palms facing up and feet straight ahead. This practice allows us to get rid of old blocks, release them and move forward in our lives. But most importantly, this final pose signals rebirth, perhaps letting the old things lay dormant and moving ahead with a fresh, healthy and stronger mindset. This practice ends without words, instead a lovely space of music to allow us to slip into a completely relaxed state.
