Last Sleeps: Yoga Nidra for End of Life

Savasana, the pose assumed at the end of contemporary yoga classes to bring rest after effort, translates to corpse pose. After physical practice, the body-mind surrenders to relaxation. In savasana, the body-mind dies: to the physical work of the practice, and to the days, months, years, that preceded it. Awakening from savasana means waking up, renewed. Savasana is a death: a small one, and we can practice it as often as we want to prepare for the big permanent death we will all eventually face. Corpse pose is where we practice Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep.
