Why you should never skip savasana, according to a yoga teacher

People in savasana pose in yoga class, lying on their backs.

From my perspective as a yoga teacher, there’s nothing that makes me sadder than seeing a student rush out of class before the final resting pose.

Savasana (pronounced shah-VA-sunnah) isn’t just a nice-to-have at the end of a session—it’s a posture that can be transformative for your nervous system.
