Corpse pose

[DEADLI.]

I have started using this pose to end qigong sessions. It seems to maximize the benefits of the sets you have just done, by allowing the body to utilize and assimilate the energies that the former yoga/qigong sets have built up.

d. Practice Tips for Yoga Corpse Pose: Try to consciously relax your entire body. Release all your tensions and worries and stay in the present moment as best you can.

You may want to use a blanket to cover your legs, as your body temperature can drop considerably in this pose.


Please try this out, and benefit from it.

I've also done this, and I agree.

Its sometimes considered the "most difficult" yoga asana, because it involves quieting the mind, as well as the body...
