Savasana is a yoga pose that can be a soothing journey for the body but a difficult expedition for a defiant mind. 
Lay down on your back. Allow your arms to rest at your side, far enough from the body so that the chest and armpits open while the neck and upper back release effortlessly into the floor. Extend your legs straight onto the floor, far enough apart to allow the lower back to release, legs to roll open evenly and inner thighs to soften. Lengthen the neck, drawing the shoulder blades away from the ears. Relax the hands and feet completely. Soften the eyes, jaw, tongue and throat. Close your eyes and inhale gently, with each exhalation relax the body even further as you become one with the earth beneath you.
Savasana is the practice of letting go; stilling the mind of distractions, fears and sorrow. Throughout our days we become a slave to our thoughts, to our expectations, to our skewed perceptions of ourselves. We become caught up in the events of today and yesterday thus carrying an ever-increasing burden of stress and pain. This takes its toll on our body and mind. Savasana gives us a moment to release and free ourselves of these burdens. It allows us to start again renewed, refreshed and revitalized. It allows us to realize that we can have a clean slate if we allow our minds to leave the past behind.
