Now, getting back to yoga. A good class is
structured in such a way that you get a proper
workout before laying down in Shavasana. If
the practice isn’t intensive enough for you,
chances are you won’t go deep inside once you
get in Corpse pose.
The best Shavasana comes after active
exercise.
Also worth mentioning is that dynamic practice
heats up the body making it more flexible. So,
it’s logical to do some warm-up, perform
active postures before trying to open your
hips, especially when it’s cold outside, and our
body is stiff.
Physical activity relaxes not only our body but
also our brains. Those of us who do an
intellectual job, sit in the offices, but rarely
engage in sports, often suffer from insomnia,
nervous system disorders, and depression.
Stress accumulates but never gets released.
To bring in more oxygen to our system and to
’ventilate’ our brains, we need to cycle, run, or
do yoga. So, work out physically to relax
mentally.
