Amritasana (Shavasana) – The Pose of Immortality and Deep Relaxation
Amritasana, also known as Shavasana or the Corpse Pose, is a deeply restorative yoga posture typically practiced at the end of an asana session. It is designed to relax the body and calm the mind completely, allowing for rejuvenation and inner stillness.
How to Practice Amritasana (Shavasana) – Step-by-Step Guide
Starting Position:
Lie flat on your back on a soft mat or blanket in a quiet space.
Steps:
-
Spread your legs and arms slightly apart from the body, with palms facing upward.
-
Let your feet naturally fall outward and your fingers curl softly.
-
Close your eyes gently and allow your body to be completely still.
-
Tilt your head slightly to one side or keep it centered — whichever feels more natural.
-
Take deep, slow inhalations and exhalations, letting go of all tension.
-
Remain fully conscious — avoid falling asleep. Let your awareness rest on the breath or the stillness of the body.
-
Stay in this posture for 10 to 30 minutes, depending on your time and needs.
Important: Always perform Amritasana at the end of your yoga practice to absorb the benefits of all previous asanas.
