“The stresses of modern life are a strain on the nerves for which savasana is the only cure.”~B.K.S. Iyengar
Some days are more stressful than others. There are days where I spend so many hours on my feet that when I lay down I’m too tired to sleep and I just can’t settle my mind. Usually on those days I am too busy to practice yoga and I do not have the energy for an extended asana practice. I simply put my legs up against the wall for about 5 minutes then supported corpse pose for about 10 minutes. If I am not asleep by then I usually am fast asleep in no time. Sometimes I rub a few drops of lavender oil on my palms to help me relax. You can find more on supported savasana here. What is your relaxing bedtime routine?
That’s a great routine – so good for blood flow! I need to do something like that!
