Shavasana (Corpse Pose) is a deep relaxation posture performed by lying flat on the back with arms and legs comfortably relaxed. It allows the body and mind to completely unwind, reduces stress and fatigue, calms the nervous system, and helps the body fully absorb the benefits of the yoga session.

When performing Shavasana (Corpse Pose), avoid these common mistakes:

• Keeping the body tense instead of fully relaxing.
• Not lying flat and properly aligned on the mat.
• Holding the breath instead of breathing naturally.
• Moving or fidgeting during the relaxation phase.
• Using too much effort to “try” to relax
• Placing the arms too close or too far from the body.
• Falling asleep instead of maintaining gentle awareness.
