I avoid it, because I’m scared of it. I’ll be the one snoring on my mat, head lopped to one side, and with one loud zzzzkrkrkrkrzzzz I’ll wake myself to a room full of yogis and yoginis staring at my limp supine body. “And that is how you do savasana, my friends.” NOT
Savasana is that deep place of relaxation where only utter peace and deep silence can take you…remove the clutter from your mind and if those nasty little thoughts creep in anyway…watch them like a movie preview, or maybe a rerun. Depends on the thoughts I guess. Don’t get involved with them, don’t judge them, don’t analyze them, don’t agree with them, don’t disagree with them. Don’t do anything with them. Don’t ignore them either, but do watch them. Usher them through the minds eye, quickly or slowly, and invite another thought in. Let that thought be your breath. …and yes, you may end up in that comfortable repose that we all know as sleep. If you need it that bad, maybe it’s okay. I think I’ll stay away though, and hold on to my dignity, at least while I instruct the class!
