Savasana (Therapy)

The sanskrit name is derived from Śava (शव) meaning “corpse” and āsana (आसन) meaning “posture” or “seat”

• Place your yoga mat on the floor.

• Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can lie down without any interruptions.

• Sit on the mat with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Slowly lie down on the mat.

• Keep the bolster under your knees. Adjust the bolster so that it feels comfortable and supportive.

• Ensure that the bolster supports your legs from the knees to the ankles.

• You can keep your legs together or slightly apart, depending on your comfort level. Allow your feet to fall open naturally.

• Let your arms rest comfortably at your sides, slightly away from the body, with palms facing up. Adjust your shoulders so they are relaxed and evenly supported.

• Ensure that your head is in line with your spine and your neck is in a neutral position.

• Softly close your eyes and turn your gaze inward. Relax your facial muscles, including your jaw, and allow your breath to flow naturally.

• Take a few moments to settle into the pose, making any necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort and alignment. Allow yourself to fully relax and release any tension in the body.

• Remain in Savasana for 5 to 10 minutes, or longer if desired, focusing on deepening your relaxation with each breath. If your mind wanders, gently bring your attention back to the present moment and the sensations in your body.

• Now very gently with your consciousness turn towards the right side and come up with the support of your hand.

• Keep your spine in a neutral position, neither arched nor flattened.

• Maintain a natural curve in your lower back, with the back of your neck lengthened and the chin slightly tucked towards the chest to align the cervical spine.

• Avoid any thoughts, keep your mind relaxed in savasana

• Avoid in case of back injury or discomfort
