Extended Corpse - Savasana

Extended Corpse - Savasana

STEPS : Sit on the floor, keeping your feet on the ground or floor and knees bent.  Lie back extending your legs with toes facing the ceiling.  Keep your head in the centre and do not allow it to fall on either side.  Extend your arms towards the bottom of the mat, resting the back of your hands on the floor.  Make sure to broaden your shoulders and ribs.  Relax your tongue, cheeks, lips, throat and neck.  Let your eyes sink deep and slowly turn them downwards towards your heart.  Stay calm and rest in pose for about 5 minutes.  Exit the pose by exhaling and slowly turning towards the side taking a deep breath.
