Savasana Options

If you find it difficult to settle in Savasana, have you considered changing the way you set yourself up?

One of my favourite versions of Savasana is to add some weight onto the front body when lying on the back. A heavy cotton blanket works really well for added weight, but a bolster, cushion or pillow are fine too.

Make sure the head and neck are supported and, if possible, angle the head so that the forehead is tilted ever so slightly higher than the chin. Support the knees too with a bolster, pillow or cushion. And then lie back, placing whatever you’re using as a weight along the length of the torso.

Cover the eyes with an eye pillow or a scarf and stay for at least 20 minutes.

It’s especially comforting on those days when you may be feeling anxious or overwhelmed.
