Corpse Pose (Shavasana)

These asanas provide mental peace and one feels energetic after just few hours of practice. This asana has two variations. You can learn this asana as below:


Variation I Variation II

Variation I:

  • Best time- just before the sleep after a hard days' work.
  • Lie flat on the back over a mat in clean and quiet place.

  • Maintain some distance between your legs.

  • Keep your body firm and get conscious towards breathing.

  • Breathe easy and concentrate on your navel zone.

  • Get yourself free from all the physical and mental afflictions.
  • Begin mental counting, say 27.
  • Breathe easy along with swelled tummy repeat 27.
  • Repeat again this number when you exhale out.
  • Next time when you inhale then mentally count 26.
  • Repeat this number when you exhale out.
  • Complete this inverse counting without any miss.
  • Suppose if you miss out then begin once again from the start.
