Shavasan or nidra yoga


                  Shavasan or nidra yoga 
        Shavasana Corpse Pose, or Mrtasana  is an asan  in haltha yoga  and modern yoga as a excuse often used for relaxation at the end of a session. It is the usual pose for the practice of yoga nidra meditation.
        The asana is released by slowly deepening the breath, flexing the fingers and toes, reaching the arms above the head, stretching the whole body, and exhaling while bringing the knees to the chest and rolling over to the side in a fetal position, drawing the head in the right arm. From here, one can push up into a seated position. Drowsiness or restlessness of the mind while in Shavasana may be counteracted by increasing the rate and depth of breathing. While in Shavasana, it is important to be in a neutral position.
