Savasana: Corpse Pose

The whole principle of yoga is based on learning to observe and be aware of muscular tension in the body, and then learning to relax unnecessary tension in the muscles. The Corpse pose is a good place to start learning this process. Some say this is the easiest posture there is and others will tell you this is the most difficult posture of all.

Who's Stressed Out?

Techniques to Heighten your Relaxation Response 

Notice how you react to stress

Stress is everywhere. It comes from four basic sources: the external environment, social stressors, physiological changes through time, and your thoughts. Watch yourself in the present moment.

Body Awareness

Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, check in with yourself. Notice your posture. Use body scanning techniques and let go undue holding. Start being more aware of your overall condition.
