Savasana Relaxation
Savasana is supine stillness at the end of yoga—limbs relaxed, eyes closed, breath natural—for five to fifteen minutes to integrate practice and lower arousal. It trains doing nothing on purpose.

Cover for warmth, support knees if low back aches, and set a gentle timer. Skipping savasana skips nervous system downshift.
Brief body scan from toes to head improves adherence.
Common questions
-
How long should savasana last?
Five to fifteen minutes is typical—longer on restorative days, shorter before time-crunched lifts.
-
Is it normal to fall asleep in savasana?
Occasional sleep means you needed rest—schedule earlier sessions if it always happens and disrupts night sleep.
