Relaxation pose (Savasana)

Lie on the floor with your head supported, your eyes covered with a soft cloth, and your arms and legs at a comfortable distance from your body.

You may find the pose easier on your back if you place a bolster or a rolled blanket under your knees. 

Many students also appreciate a smaller roll under their Achilles tendons at the back of their ankles. 

When you are comfortable, breathe slowly and allow yourself to sink into the floor, letting goof all tension and allowing your mind to focus on the sensation of your breath. 

To come out of the pose, bend your knees and roll slowly to your right side. 

Rest a moment, then use your arms to push yourself to a sitting position. Remain quiet for a few more moments before getting up.
