What this is

A 10-minute guided relaxation in Corpse Pose (Savasana) — the resting practice you feel long after it ends. There’s nothing to stretch and nothing to hold. You lie down, get warm and comfortable, and let my voice guide you through a slow head-to-toe body scan, softening one part at a time until your whole body feels heavy and supported. It’s the perfect way to close a Yin class, and just as lovely on its own when you simply need to switch off.

Who this is for

Anyone who wants to rest — whether you’ve just finished a practice or you’re winding down at the end of the day. If your mind is busy or your body feels wound up, this meets you exactly where you are. No experience needed; all you have to do is lie still and listen.

What you need

Very little. A warm, quiet spot where you can lie down and won’t be disturbed. A blanket to keep you cosy and a cushion under your head or knees are welcome if you have them, but nothing is required. Dim the lights, turn off notifications, and give yourself these ten minutes.

Common questions

What is this?

A 10-minute guided relaxation in Corpse Pose (Savasana). There's nothing to hold or work at — you simply lie down and follow a soft, spoken body scan that helps every part of you soften and grow heavy. It's the resting close to a Yin practice, and lovely on its own too.

When should I use it?

Any time you want to unwind. Use it to finish a Yin or yoga class, to reset in the middle of a busy day, or as a wind-down in bed before sleep. It's especially calming when you feel wired, stressed, or restless.

Do I need anything?

No — just a warm, quiet place to lie down. A blanket over you and a cushion under your head or knees can make it even cosier, but they're optional. Dim the lights and let yourself be still.

A gentle reminder: Yin asks you to respect your limits, not override them. Come out of any pose that feels like pain rather than sensation, ease off if your hands tingle or a knee complains, and take your time coming out of the long holds — the body feels tender for a moment, and that passes. This practice is about taking good care of your body, never pushing it.
