Adding props such as eye pillows and instruments like a singing bowl can deepen the experience.<\/p>\n<p>Savasana is long known to be many people&#8217;s favorite yoga pose&#8230; and some for, they may dread it. You may enjoy the long rest after your hard work or perhaps you are one who feels anxious about it. Maybe the thought of being totally still with your breath sounds like the last thing you want to do when you feel all your prana, or energy, moving through your body after class.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s essential!

While it can be performed in between postures for rest as in traditional hatha yoga, here we will refer to it as performed at the end of a yoga asana practice. It is done to restore the heart rate back to a normal pace after the practice.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Use_Eye_pillow\"><\/span>What to Use: Eye pillow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yoga-king.com\/deluxe-silk-eye-pillows.html\">Eye pillows<\/a>\u00a0are helpful because they promote the sensation of closing off from the external world. If you have a tendency to open your eyes or blink during savasana, definitely use an eye pillow. They also promote pratyahara, which is the 5th limb of yoga. It means internal awareness through withdrawing from the outside sensory world. This is a great way to practice it!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1006 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yoga-king.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/new-age-478525_1920-300x193.jpg\" alt=\"Singing Bowl\" width=\"462\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yoga-king.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/new-age-478525_1920-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yoga-king.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/new-age-478525_1920-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yoga-king.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/new-age-478525_1920-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yoga-king.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/new-age-478525_1920-330x212.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.yoga-king.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/new-age-478525_1920-690x444.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.yoga-king.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/new-age-478525_1920-1050x675.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.yoga-king.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/new-age-478525_1920-902x580.jpg 902w, https:\/\/www.yoga-king.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/new-age-478525_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A singing bowl is an instrument often used for meditation or sound healing purposes. They originate from Tibet and are typically made of bronze or in some cases, quartz crystals. Going to a sound healing meditation class can be useful for help relaxing in savasana or meditation. During the course of the meditation, you will lie down on your back while the guide plays various instruments over you. The frequencies of each instrument (and even each singing bowl) will stimulate your chakras and brain waves in various ways to allow them to open, flow, and vibrate in higher awareness.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Let_It_Transform_You\"><\/span>Let It Transform You<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While the name of the pose, Corpse Pose, can scare some people away, it is actually a doorway of transformation. Instead of thinking of it as death, shift your mindset to think of it more like a dream.
