What is savasana and its benefits?

Savasana, commonly known as Corpse Pose, is a restorative pose typically practiced at the end of a yoga session. In this pose, you lie flat on your back with arms and legs relaxed, allowing the body to enter a state of deep relaxation. The primary benefit of Savasana is that it encourages the body to reset and recover from physical exertion. It helps to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote a sense of peace and tranquility.

In addition to aiding in physical recovery, Savasana provides an opportunity for the mind to assimilate the benefits of the preceding physical practice. By allowing the body and mind to relax completely, practitioners can enhance their overall sense of well-being and cultivate mindfulness. This contrasts with other poses that may focus on physical engagement, dynamic movement, or breathing techniques, which do not specifically target the restorative aspect that Savasana provides.
