Duration: approx 5 min🔗

Do the following practice each time after completing the workout of the day.

Shivasana

Shavasana (translated in English as corpse pose) is traditionally always practiced for at least 5 – 10 minutes at the conclusion of any yogic practice. Shavasana is a restorative pose and allows the body to process and understand the information it has received throughout the yoga practice.

It is commonly brushed off by some as being just a rest or a chance to have a short sleep. Truth be told, shavasana is essentially the most important aspect of the entire practice. This is where the body receives the class at all levels: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The body can relax, rejuvenate and heal.

If shavasana is practiced in totality, it can leave the practitioner energized for hours after their class. When done with this kind of intense awareness, the 'dead pose' is nothing dead, but instead an opportunity for complete rejuvenation. That is why in the practice of eN-Fitness SM, we called this posture 'shivasana', where you connect with the energy of Shiva, rejuvenation. You emerge from this rest as a new person.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Lie down on your back.
• Spread your legs comfortably apart.
• Place your arms by your side palms facing up.
• Keep the neck and head in line.

Relax the entire body from head to toe. Let the breath be natural. Be in a deep restful awareness. Feel gratitude for your body, for the whole Existence. Depending on the duration and intensity of your workout, you may extend the length of your rest time in shivasana.

After 3 – 5 minutes, start moving the body gently by extending the legs and arms. Roll onto your right side, and come back to a sitting posture. Relax.

Sukhasana

To conclude the class, sit in a simple cross-legged position. If you cannot sit on the floor, you may sit on a chair.

INSTRUCTION

• Keep the spine straight, shoulders, neck, face, and lower jaw relaxed.

• Close your eyes.
• Bring a soft smile to your face.
• Place your hands in chin mudra on the knees (thumb and index fingers touching lightly).
• Be awake and alive. Be unclutched TM; witness your thoughts, without giving life to them. Witness the breath and body sensations.
• Reconnect to your intention. Visualize your body radiating the highest Divine qualities, the Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda.
• Bring the hands in prayer position at the heart and let your whole body resonate with the chant of Eternal Bliss. Inhale and chant deeply:

Om Nithyanandam
