The Power of Savasana: Why Rest is a Posture

The Power of Savasana: Why Rest is a Posture

In our fast-paced society, "doing nothing" is often seen as a waste of time. However, in the 26+2 series, Savasana (Dead Body Pose) is considered the most important posture. At Yoga Tribe Brooklyn, we treat rest with the same respect as our most challenging balancing acts.

The "Reset" Button

During a hot yoga class, you are putting your body under controlled stress. Savasana is where the magic happens. When you lie still, your heart rate slows, your blood pressure drops, and your body begins to integrate the benefits of the previous postures. It is the moment where "the work" becomes "the result."

Learning to Be Still

For many Brooklynites, lying still for two minutes is harder than standing on one leg. Savasana teaches us to quiet the mind and simply be. This practice of stillness is the ultimate antidote to the overstimulation of city life.
