I think that “decoy” savasana was more surprising during my first hot yoga class but I know what to expect now. My literal-mindedness makes my mind write all kinds of stories but I will definitely approach/look at savasana differently from now on.'Dreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445124443770488433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375029325235067748.post-57542162082714399672012-05-21T08:24:22.050-05:002012-05-21T08:24:22.050-05:00"Decoy savasana" is officially in my voc..."Decoy savasana" is officially in my vocab now.

So, we would use it in the beginning of class to help students come into that state of mind of being focused and relaxed, not just at the end of class when you want to melt into the mat (it is SOOOO good then isn't it?). So next time you are in decoy savasana, remember that you are not just resting, but coming into this yogic state-breathing deeply, focused, relaxed. It's a chance to transition from the chaos of your life into the sacred quiet of your practice. <br /><br />Although I usually start off using another integration pose like child's pose, easy seated pose or even downward dog, I like savasana at the beginning of class. It really brings the energy down and can be great for taming a really energetic class.Kinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580164702361956355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375029325235067748.post-4333591918678464442012-05-20T22:59:18.347-05:002012-05-20T22:59:18.347-05:00That so made me laugh.

In my mind, savasana is the final relaxation pose which it is not when we first encounter it in hot yoga.<br /><br />Maybe I should call it misleading savasana. Fake savasana?<br /><br />I guess that savasana is savasana but it doesn't feel that way when we have more hot yoga work to do. Know what I'm saying?'Dreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445124443770488433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375029325235067748.post-55503501975248449972012-05-20T21:57:42.002-05:002012-05-20T21:57:42.002-05:00Decoy savasana?
