At the end of this morning’s session, Sam said “that was lovely! Just lying there at the end of the session with the sun on my face and the sound of the sea. So relaxing”. Sam then went off with a few others, for a quick swim in the sea.
\nSavasana is such a special pose. It is the one that give us so much when we give it the time it requires.
\nLearning to relax is not “being lazy”, it is learning to let go of tensions that no longer serve us, things that we can do nothing about and acceptance of where we are in every moment.
\nGive yourself some time to breathe, release and let go.
\nThis pose is always time well spent. Take a look in BKS Iyengar’s “Path to holistic health” to see how to set yourself up for a comfortable savasana. Alternatively take yourself off to bed..
\nEnjoy.
\nLove and light,
\nLucy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
