corpse pose
Final relaxation position
Corpse pose is a yoga position where you lie flat on your back, arms at your sides, palms up, completely still—like a corpse.
Despite appearing effortless, the pose requires conscious relaxation of every muscle.
It typically closes a yoga session, allowing the body to absorb the practice: We ended class in corpse pose for five minutes.
Also called by its Sanskrit name, savasana.
