Corpse Pose is a beginner, supine posture meant for the end of a practice session. Corpse Pose may seem simple but has been considered one of the more challenging postures in Yoga because it requires the Yogi to completely relax the entire body and mind. Corpse pose will often be paired with some guided meditation and props to help for comfort.
To do Corpse Pose, lay on the ground with the feet falling to the sides and the arms a few inches from the body, palms facing up. Begin to relax each part of the body from the toes to the head, using the breath. The true form of this posture is to bring the mind to a state of relaxation just before sleep. Use blankets, blocks and pillows to support the body for complete relaxation.
