Savasana comes from the Sanskrit words Shava (शव, Śava) meaning “corpse”, and Asana (आसन, Āsana) meaning “posture”.
After the exertions of a yoga practice, savasana allows the body a chance to regroup and reset itself. After a balanced practice, the entire body will have been stretched, contracted, twisted and inverted. This means that even the deepest muscles will have the opportunity to let go and shed their regular habits, if only for a few minutes.
Lie down on your mat facing up, hands apart, with some distance of your body, palms facing up and relax your whole body.
It has some incredible benefits:
- it helps you to lower blood pressure and heart rate,
