What are the benefits one gains by practising Shavasana?
Answers
Karen Fabian, yoga teacher and founder of Bare Bones Yoga, is a recognized authority on the benefits of Savasana. She explains that the pose allows your muscle memory, mind, and nervous system time to process, absorb, and integrate everything that happened in the yoga session. While practicing Savasana, your heart rate, blood pressure, muscular tension, and body temperature, slow down. She even endorses this a great time to let the brain visualize favourable outcomes to life events.
Relax Your Nervous System
Elonne Stockton of Centered Yoga builds on Fabian’s statement, suggesting that Savasana is a way to remove fatigue, caused by anything in one’s life, from the nervous system. She points out that the benefits do not come simply through placing your body in corpse pose, but through what Savasana allows, or what Swami Vishnu-Devananda would call “proper relaxation.”
