CINDY MASTRY: Namaste. It's so important at the end of any Hatha Yoga practice to come into your relaxation pose. It allows you to integrate all of the work that you've done and allows all the toxins to be released. So in the relaxation pose, we just come lying down on our back. You allow your feet to be, maybe mat width apart and allow your feet to flop out to the sides. You inhale and lift your chest, roll your shoulders down and back so that on the exhalation you can allow your chest and your shoulder blades to melt down into the Earth. The arms, just a little away from your body with the palms open to the sky. That bony part of your head presses down into the ground, so that your chin is not jutting up to the sky. And then as you begin to breathe, you just begin to let everything go, relaxing every bit of tension in your body. Inhaling in, drawing healing energy and light, and as you exhale, sending that light through all of your bones, all of your muscles, all of your tissues, allowing everything to relax and let go.
