Lying still on your back sounds easy until you try it after a hot class, with your heart still racing and your to-do list knocking.
Why it matters
Savasana is where your heart rate comes down and your nervous system catches up with what your body just did. Skipping it is like leaving a film before the ending.
How to rest in it
Let your feet fall open and your palms face up
Lengthen the exhale for the first few breaths
Notice the floor holding your weight
When your mind wanders, come back to the breath
If you need to leave early, go before savasana starts, not during. The room will thank you.

Rest whenever you like
Child's pose is always allowed. Staying in the room is the whole first class.
