Yoga Journeys: Master the Art of Practicing Savasana (2 of 4)

Disclaimer

Before we go any further, we seriously don’t want you hurting yourself, guys. So if there is a reason why you cannot or should not lay completely flat on your back, such as an injury, a recent recovery from surgery, or a pregnancy, please do not attempt Savasana until you’ve gotten the green light from a health care professional to do so.

How to Begin Savasana

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s begin! First, find yourself a quiet environment and lie down on your back. Position your feet at a hip-width distance and allow them to gently rest outward. Place your hands on the floor, palms facing up, a few inches from your body. Close your eyes and clear your mind of intrusive thoughts. Be aware that Savasana isn’t intended for sleeping but rather to promote deep relaxation. The optimal duration for this pose ranges from 10 to 30 minutes, providing an ideal opportunity for extended tranquility and rejuvenation.
