The Corpse
Pose
Despite the fact that it is considered to be a classic
relaxation yoga pose, the Corpse Pose is in fact one of
the most difficult Yoga Asanas. It can either be practiced
before or in between Asanas, or as the Final Relaxation.
Before starting your Corpse Yoga Pose make sure you have laid
symmetrically, as you need to have proper space to stretch you
hands and your legs. You will notice that once you are done
with this exercise you experience a feeling of marvelous
relaxation of all your muscles.
When working on this pose, it is advisable to start by rotating
your legs in and out and letting them fall slowly on the sides.
Then, repeat the movement with your hands. The next move
implies your spine. Rotate it by turning your head from side to
side. Letting gravity embrace you, stretch yourself in a
similar manner as if somebody was pulling your head away from
your feet. Keep your shoulders down and as away from the feet
as possible.
Soon, you will feel your entire weight going deeper into a
state of profound relaxation. At this moment breathing is a key
element, for obtaining the best results. Thus, you have to make
sure you breathe deeply and your whole abdomen is rising when
you inhale. Many specialists, as well as yoga practitioners
agree that there are a lot of beneficial actions going on in
your entire system, when you breathe correctly, such as, for
example, removal of stress and reduction of the body's energy
loss.
For all its helpful results, the Corpse Pose is highly popular
among the relaxation poses.
