Corpse Pose - (Savasana)
Corpse Pose (Savasana) is one of the most important in yoga. It is often done at the very beginning of a routine to help rest and prepare the body and mind, and is always used at the end, normally for between 5 and 15 minutes.Your whole body relaxes, the respiratory and circulatory systems balance, and the body assimilates the benefits of the preceding yoga practice. It helps deepen consciousness and withdraw body-identification, allowing you to experience profound, restful awareness.

Corpse Pose (Savasana) - How To
1 Lie on your back with your spine in a straight line, and your legs, arms and head resting on the floor. 2 With your feet about 15 inches apart allow your ankles to rest and the feet to fall away from each other. 3 Allow your arms to rest comfortably a little away from your side with the palms facing up. 4 Close your eyes, breathe regularly and completely relax, staying conscious and allowing your awareness to deepen.
