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. 2, record 2, English, - corpse%20pose

En règle générale, on peut supposer qu'en appliquant diverses techniques d’auto-sauvetage, comme par exemple se libérer des skis et des bâtons dès que l'on est pris, se mettre à nager pendant que l'avalanche est en mouvement, on peut éviter l'ensevelissement complet. Il est également conseillé d’essayer, juste avant l'arrêt de l'avalanche, de garder les mains devant le visage afin de créer une poche d’air permettant de respirer. Grâce à ces mesures de précaution, les chances de survie en cas d’avalanche devraient croître d’une manière significative. Cependant, on ignore jusqu'à quel point un enseveli est effectivement en mesure de faire ces gestes salvateurs. 1, record 3, French, - enseveli
