Come to lie on the back with the legs open and the arms releasing at the sides. Carefully lift the pelvis slightly to tuck the tailbone down. For those with tight hip flexors or hyper-lordosis, placing a bolster under the knees will help to make this adjustment. Next, rock the upper body slightly to allow the shoulders blades to tuck in and down, releasing the front of the chest. In doing this the arms should relax to the appropriate distance at the sides of the body. Turn the palms up. Lengthen through the back of the neck, relaxing the back of the head into the ground beneath you. Some students may need a pillow behind the head to allow the neck to release.<\/p>\n

Begin to scan the body for gripping and tension. Allow tension to melt from the body, releasing the jaw, the inner ears, the nose. Relax the eyes and forehead, allowing the eyes to sink to the back of the head. Release control of the breath. Allow the breath to breathe you.<\/p>\n

It is recommended that for every half hour of Asana practice, 5 minutes of Savasana is allotted. This may also vary depending on the intensity of the class and the attention span of the students. It is very important not to skip this posture.<\/p>\n

To come out, first, softly waken up the body. Deepen the breath and begin to bring life to the limbs. Roll over to the right side of the body (to avoid putting pressure on the heart). Take a few breaths here. When you are ready, use the top arm to press yourself up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
