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.
