Supported relaxation pose (Savasana)

With chest elevated and support for the legs, ten minutes. 

Marian suggests using blankets under the head and neck, and under the back from the waist up, both for elevation and the softness they provide. 

Set up for the pose by folding a blanket and placing it lengthwise on your mat to support your entire torso and head. 

Then sit in front of the folded blanket (but not on it) and lean back so the bottom of the folded blanket hits you at the waist. 

Place a second folded blanket on top of the first blanket under your head to support your head and neck. 

Place a rolled blanket with a diameter of three to four inches under the top of the thighs to support them, which takes the pressure off the knees.
