Savasana is like an oasis in the midst of all this. It helps us counteract and balance our modern lifestyle in several ways:
>> It trains us to be in stillness. Laying down on our mats. Eyes closed. Conscious, aware, awake. Nothing to do. No multitasking. Cellphones out of our reach. No moving around or fidgeting. Just resting.
Savasana gives us a chance to be still and relaxed, to rest while awake, and not do anything.
>> It trains us to rest in the PNS or Parasympathetic Nervous Systemstate without being asleep. It trains us to be “alert without tension and relaxed without lethargy.” (T.V.K. Desikachar)
