Less spectacular than Side Crow, Headstand, or Scorpion, Savasana is much more than your favorite relaxation pose at the end of your yoga session. You're not just taking a nap to recover from your sweaty workout.

I take time every day to sit quietly. Preferably in silence. To reflect, visualize, contemplate, practice meditation. Or to daydream, listening to the music of the soundscape playing at that very moment…

Lingering in bed a bit longer, maybe another ten minutes or so, I breathe mindfully. Mimicking the sound of the ocean in the back of my throat, I breathe slowly in and out with relaxed attention. From the crown of my head to the edges of my hands and feet, I savor the effect this has on my body.
