Review of Savasana: The Posture People Skip (Please Don’t)

Overview
Corpse Pose is active rest—the integration of what came before. It looks like lying down; it feels like a system‑wide exhale.

Best for
- Everyone, especially the time‑poor who think rest is optional.

Benefits
- Downshifts nervous system;
- Increases body awareness;
- Closes practice with clarity rather than hurry.

Cautions
- If the floor is cold, take a blanket and eye pillow; comfort allows letting go.
- Set a timer so your mind can relax about time.

Try this mini‑practice
- Five minutes flat, knees supported if needed. Scan the body toes to crown; lengthen exhales by a beat or two.

Final word
Savasana is where practice lands. Skipping it is like leaving a letter unposted.
