The art of lying down, Savasana, with Sandrine Vimes
Like every week, you learn to listen and calm your breathing with Sandrine Vimes. She is a yoga teacher and trainer. Find her in Cap d’Ail in the heart of the center Kaladvaita. This Wednesday you discover the art of lying down!
Lying down: it’s an art!
This is called Savasana. This is a posture that mimics that of a corpse. It evokes a state resembling death in which all our mental afflictions fade away. Control is essential because it also allows you to observe your breathing well.
So to master it well: lie on your back. Let your body release and your diaphragm release naturally. The breath comes and goes on its own, deepens. Mental balance. Besides, it’s often much easier to be aligned and comfortable when you’re lying down rather than sitting down. Lying down, it is also easier not to move. So no need to worry about your posture during pranayama practice. We surrender entirely to his breath !
Be careful, it’s not just about lying on the ground with your eyes closed! Each stage of the deployment of this asana requires careful and attentive execution, in order to direct the body and the mind towards calm, spatiality and the feeling of neutrality. This is an essential step in learning to establish the silence of the body.
Lying down while respecting Sandrine’s little advice requires little practice.
