Rest and Restore
Relax the body and refresh the mind
“I am my true self."
Relax after exercising. You may lie down or sit in a comfortable way, using a mat, blanket, rug or grassy area.
Lie on your back so that your entire body is relaxed. The arms and legs are long; hands with palms facing up. Close your eyes and notice any comfort or discomfort in the body. Place your focus on breathing in and breathing out. Be still. Rest for 5-10 minutes. To come out of the pose, move slowly and push the body up with your hands to support the back.
Note: For additional back support, place a rolled blanket under the knees.
Caution: With back issues or injury, find a comfortable position that suits you. You may sit up to rest, or lean against a wall.
