Yoga Pose: Savasana

Savasana

Each yoga class ends with what our instructors call the most important pose in our practice: savasana or corpse pose. It is exactly what it sounds like. You lay on your mat like a dead body. If it happened to be a particularly grueling class, you may actually feel like a dead body.

You are supposed to clear your mind and give yourself that moment of free of thought. I find this to be the most difficult pose to actually master since my mind continues to race. There are those few rare classes where I’ll actually fall asleep in savasana. But most times I don’t even close my eyes. I’m working on it.

Ralphie, on the other hand, is a savasana master.
