Yoga means union or joining. Shavasana is often called the relaxing pose and is ideal in the middle of the day or before bed to calm and balance ourselves. To begin, lie on your back with palms on the floor facing up. Inhale and exhale deeply through your nose. With each exhalation, visualize all your tension leaving your body.
Every breath allows for deeper relaxation and surrendering.
Release any thoughts of lack, guilt, shame or resentment. Allow thoughts of fulfillment, gratitude and forgiveness to circulate. Sense your hands, feet, legs, abdomen, eyes, fingers, and chest all relaxing into a deep sense of letting go. Shavasana appears to be a sleeping pose, however, done consciously for 50 breaths, it can promote both a better nights sleep and a more refreshed morning. It can also increase your performance and awareness anytime of the day.
