Savasana ✨💀🖤
Savasana translates to co**se pose. The power of this pose is directly related to the practice of dying.
The intention of our Yoga practice isn’t to acquire more things, an esthetic, a new identity, etc. Yoga is a practice of letting go of the veils that obstruct the knowing of ourselves as already whole, divine, and enlightened. Yoga helps us to remember by guiding us to let go of our attachments.
While the body and subtle body benefit from the movement and purification of asana, the deepest intention of yogic practices can only be realized when we become still. It’s in savasana that we release all doing, in both body and mind.
Savasana is then the practice of death. Death of the ego, death of all craving, grasping, and aversion. In savasana, we practice being with all that is, while we rest as consciousness itself — unaffected by the coming and goings of life.
Savasana marks the death of who we were when we first walked into our yoga class. Every practice we go through is a death of our old self and therein lies an opportunity to reawaken anew.
