The relaxation pose, or corpse pose, savasana (sava = cadaver), puts the body in an anatomical position in which one can completely let go of the physical, emotional and mental tensions. Practiced between the postures and at the end of a session, it allows to free the muscles and nerves from any fatigue resulting from the exercises. One can then truly experience a deep state of relaxation at a physical and mental level.
