 Savasana, often referred to as Corpse Pose, is a relaxing and restorative yoga pose typically practiced at the end of a yoga session. Its primary purpose is to promote deep relaxation and rejuvenation. Here's how to practice Savasana:


1. **Lie flat on your back**: Start by lying down on your yoga mat with your legs extended and your arms resting comfortably by your sides. Your palms should be facing upward.


2. **Feet hip-width apart**: Allow your feet to fall open naturally, about hip-width apart. Let go of any tension in your legs.


3. **Close your eyes**: Close your eyes gently, and soften the muscles in your face.


4. **Relax your entire body**: Starting from your toes and working your way up, consciously release tension from each part of your body. Pay attention to your ankles, knees, hips, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and so on, until your entire body feels relaxed.


5. **Focus on your breath**: Bring your awareness to your breath. Breathe naturally and observe the rise and fall of your abdomen with each breath.


6. **Clear your mind**: Let go of any thoughts or distractions. If your mind starts to wander, gently redirect your focus to your breath or the sensation of relaxation in your body.


7. **Stay in this pose for 5-10 minutes or longer**: Allow yourself to completely let go and rest. This is a time for deep relaxation and rejuvenation.


Savasana is a crucial part of yoga practice as it allows the body and mind to absorb the benefits of the physical postures (asanas) and promotes a sense of calm and well-being. It's an excellent way to reduce stress and restore balance.
