SAVASANA: Corpse Pose

  • bikram-yoga-coquitlam-posture13-corpse-pose-01s

BENEFITS:

  • Returns cardiovascular circulation to normal
  • Slows heart rate, reduces blood pressure
  • Teaches complete relaxation
  • Stills and calms the mind
  • Allows the body to absorb the benefits of the standing series
  • Build the ability to access relaxation when necessary – in stressful situations, before bed, etc

 

TIPS:

  • Be patient and know that there are deep physiological benefits to waking relaxation
  • Listen to your breath and feel how it is moving. Not only in the belly but throughout the rest of the body
  • Try to observe the body as though you were taking a step away from it, rather than trying to make the muscles soften
  • Keep the eyes still and relaxed – you can do this by holding your calm gaze steady on one spot on the ceiling
