CINDY MASTRY: Namaste. It is so important at the end of your hatha yoga practice to take time for the relaxation. It allows you to integrate all the work that your body has done and to release all the toxins. So one way you can relax is with goddess pose. I have the help of some bolsters here. I bring one bolster in to the sacrum and one under the knees. And then I am just going to lay back. And this allows you to open your heart while you relax. If you have an extra blanket or pillow, it is nice to put it right under your neck so you can be completely and totally relaxed. The arms go out to the sides with the palms up to the sky. And then you just allow yourself to let go. Softly inhaling and softly exhaling, thus becoming an observer of your thoughts rather than a participant. With each inhalation drawing in light and energy. And with each exhalation, sending that light, that energy in throughout your body to release any tension that you may be holding.
