Savasana is essentially just lying down on your back, but once you begin to do it, you’d realise it’s so much more. After lying on the back, with the belly facing the ceiling, one must ensure that every part of their body is in a relaxed posture – from your fingertip and all your joints. Breathe deeply in this position and consciously relax all your body parts. Staying in this position, you will notice your breaths get more relaxed and slowly settle into slumber.

Balasana or child’s pose basically mimics a child’s way of relaxing. For this, begin by resting in a kneeling position while widening your knees. As you exhale, slowly bring your torso towards the ground and lengthen your tailbone away from your upper body while bringing your hands along the torso to stretch above the head, allowing your shoulders to stretch. Stay there for 15 breaths or more. This is bound to relax you!

This pose is basically hugging your own body. Begin by lying on the mat with your belly facing the ceiling. Fold your legs at the knee. Hold both the knees by grabbing them by the elbows allowing your legs a pleasing stretch. Now, lift your next and try to keep your chin between your legs. Breathe a few times, before you get back to the starting posture.

This is some good old deep breathing. For this, begin by sitting over your heels. Place a hand on your belly and the other on your rib cage. Breathe as you would breathe normally and focus on the how your belly and rib cage expands as you inhale and contracts as you exhale. If touching your hand to your chest feels good, you can transfer your hand from your rib cage to your chest to feel that rising and falling, too. Focus on the rising and falling sensations, and hold the position for 15-20 breaths (or longer, if you’d like!).
