The activities if mind keeps us away from concentrating on the body. The functions of our body remain unnoticed. For most of the time, we are in the state of ignorance about our body. Did we notice at any time of the day that where our head is or where our legs are? Perhaps not. The Corpse Pose, Savasana, would revert us to the very feel of our body. It would virtually throw us on our body.
How to Do Corpse Pose, the Savasana
· Get your yoga met fully unfolded and then lie just flat on your back. Legs would be straight and together but not touching each other. The position of the arms would be also straight with palms facing the ceiling.
· Do relax all the facial muscles and start taking breaths slowly and deeply. The closed eyes help in concentrating on the posture.
· Relaxation is the prime goal of Savasana. So start relaxing your body. When we pay attention to any of our limb, that limb feels some rest. So start relaxing from the head area and then travel through the whole body downward.
· Once you are aware of whole of your body, you would be in Corpse Pose in full. Remaining in this posture for five to ten minutes would be better. You can prolong this posture as long as you wish, as this asanas would never give your fatigue.
Benefits: This posture gifts us with multiple benefits of relaxing our whole body and keeping our mind alert. Corpse Pose is practiced at beginning and end of every yoga session. This makes you energetic to enter the yoga session in the beginning. At the end of the session, Savasana would get your away from all the fatigue that your doing of other postures might have generated.
