Systematically tensing and then relaxing the limbs of the body in shavasana is a particularly effective way to dial down the nervous system and quiet a busy mind. Regardless of how distracted you feel, this practice can deeply relax and rejuvenate the body and anchor the mind in restful stillness. Enjoy this traditional practice; perfect for beginning yoga students, and for well-practiced students who want to develop and refine pranic awareness.
