Shavasana
The name comes from the Sanskrit words Shava meaning corpse, and Asana meaning posture or seat. Yoga is a system of mental and physical training. It consists of postures, breathing exercises, meditations, which claim to give knowledge of reality. Relaxation and meditation are also key components, shavasana and sitting postures maintain the balance by their equal input of physical stimuli.
