It involves lying flat on your back, arms relaxed at your sides, palms facing up, and legs comfortably spread apart. The aim of this asana is to achieve complete relaxation, both physically and mentally, and to reduce stress, anxiety, and tiredness in the body. The goal is for the practitioner to fully release and surrender, for that allow yourself ample time for Shavasana.Have a relaxing yoga day this year.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
