sava = corpse
Also called Mrtasana (mrit-TAHS-anna, mrta = death)

  • Lay down flat with a lift under the top section of your neck and the bottom of the skull.
  • Turn the palms of the hands up and tuck the shoulder blades under towards the feet.

DURATION: Several minutes
FOCUS: Allow yourself to detect any waves of warmth or tingles in the sensitive body zones (soles of feet, backs of knees, inner thighs, gluteal creases – the meeting of the thighs and buttocks, the genitals, spine, tummy, soft chest skin, throat and face). Allow those sensations to circulate and settle and let the mind rest.
