The benefits of savasana are magical. At the end of a rigorous yoga practice, you perform this pose and accept the challenge of relaxing the body while remaining mentally present. It is harder than it looks, and opens the door to the “space between” where thoughts fade away and stillness takes center stage. Admittedly, savasana is my favorite yoga pose. It is where I practice holding space for myself before I hold space for others. And, let’s face it, it takes a different skillset than the “handstand scorpion” pose that sounds just as intimidating as it is to attempt (ouch).
