How to Exit Savasana

Once you are ready to finish, roll onto your side, feeling the earth greet your cheek. Take a few deep breaths, savoring the quiet space you’ve created within. When ready, use your hands to press gently into the mat, finding a comfortable seated position. Here, you can linger in silence or embark on a mindful breath practice or meditation, letting the tranquility of your Savasana linger throughout your day.

Additional Tips and Techniques

  • Gently draw your shoulders down and back, like tucking them under your wings.
  • If your feet feel chilly, slip on some socks and consider draping a cozy yoga blanket over yourself for warmth.
  • For an extra headrest, fold a blanket and nestle it beneath your head, allowing the fabric to gently cup your neck. This mimics the support of a pillow and can lull you deeper into relaxation.
  • If the room isn’t quite dim enough, try an eye pillow or a light scarf over your eyes.
  • Remember, choose a gentle weight for your eye covering, as anything too heavy can strain your eyes in the long run. Many people who practice yoga find a soft scarf to be the perfect companion for Savasana’s darkness. Feel free to experiment and create the perfect haven for your body and mind to simply be.
