This pose traditionally ends most hatha yoga classes. The goal of this posture is to attain stillness in the body and the mind.
Laying flat on your back on a yoga mat with legs extended together but without touching. Keep your arms close to your sides with your palms to the sky.
Keeping your eyes closed mentally travel from the top of the head to the sole of the feet and relax each part as your attention comes to it.
Maintain this pose for at least five minutes, but as long as you like remaining absolutely still.
