Yoga postures � savasana II (corpse posture)
-
Savasana is an ancient, classic yoga posture and relaxation method. In accordance with an elementary train of thought of yoga, physical and mental tension go hand in hand. In other words, body and mind are inextricably linked and mutually influence each other like two horses hitched to a cart. Savasana II is an advanced relaxation technique with many health benefits. In orthodox yoga this exercise forms the basis of consciously controlling the body as a whole, including the system organs, such as the heart and lungs. In an advanced stage of Savasana II, the state of mind and body is called yoganidra, or the "sleep of the yogis."

Marmasthanani or 'nerve zones'
-
In savasana II, every body part is visualized. Those who find this difficult can first systematically relax them by, for example, tightening the muscles of one hand and then completely relaxing them. Then it is the turn of the other hand. Then the legs, shoulders, head, and so on. The rest of the body should remain relaxed with every contraction of a body part. Start the muscle exercises and then the visualisations at the feet, slowly working towards the head. The theory of this relaxation technique is based on the yoga philosophy

Do you make a lot of gestures while talking? Are your jaws and tongue relaxed while writing or typing? Do you always breathe calmly, even during conversations that are not smooth or pleasant or in other stressful situations
